Abstract

See full text

The present disclosure relates to enhanced oil recovery methods for highly viscous oil reservoirs containing large amounts of mobile water. One method includes injecting a carbon disulfide formulation or fluid into the formation via a first well and displacing the mobile water from the formation with the carbon disulfide fluid. The highly viscous oil is then solubilized using the carbon disulfide fluid, thereby generating a mixture of mobilized oil. The mixture of mobilized oil is then forced towards a second well and subsequently produced from the second well.
