A process to recover hydrocarbons, from a hydrocarbon reservoir having a bottom, using a substantially horizontal production well, the substantially horizontal production well having a toe and a heel, the process including: (a) injecting oxygen into the hydrocarbon reservoir, the horizontal production well having at least one perforation zone for contact with the reservoir; (b) injecting steam into the hydrocarbon reservoir; the oxygen producing in situ heat and in situ carbon dioxide by combustion and the steam producing in situ heat by conduction and condensation; the in situ carbon dioxide dissolving into the liquid hydrocarbon, lowering its viscosity; (c) recovering the reservoir liquid hydrocarbons of lowered viscosity using the substantially horizontal production well; and (d) optionally conveying the recovered liquid hydrocarbons to the surface; where the process is absent a removal step of any non-condensable gas from the reservoir. |
