Abstract

See full text

Methods and systems for in situ extraction of bitumen from deposits of bitumen-containing material are described. The methods and systems can generally include establishing freeze walls within the deposit of bitumen-containing material to establish a confined zone into which solvents can be injected in order to extract bitumen from the bitumen-containing deposits. Different types of solvents can be sequentially injected in order to extract bitumen and also help reduce the amount of solvent left behind in the deposit.
