  • PROCESSES FOR EFFECTING HYDROCARBON PRODUCTION FROM RESERVOIRS HAVING A LOW PERMEABILITY ZONE BY COOLING AND HEATING
    Publication number: 20180355706
    Abstract: A process is provided for producing hydrocarbon material from a reservoir, including: cooling at least a portion of a low permeability zone within the reservoir with effect that water, disposed within the low permeability zone, freezes and expands, with effect that one or more flow paths are formed through the low permeability zone; mobilizing hydrocarbon material within the reservoir such that the mobilized hydrocarbon material is conducted through the low permeability zone via the one or more flow paths; and after the conduction of the mobilized hydrocarbon material through the low permeability zone via the one or more flow paths, producing the mobilized hydrocarbon material.
