ABSTRACT:
A method of mining an oil deposit, wherein a plurality of underground workings with inlet and recovery galleries are provided in an oil-bearing bed. From the inlet galleries inlet wells are drilled, and from the recovery galleries--recovery wells. A heat carrier is supplied through the recovery wells to the oil-bearing bed and oil is extracted from the recovery wells. In so doing, each inlet gallery is arranged in the bed between two recovery galleries and near the faces of the recovery wells, while the inlet and recovery wells in the oil-bearing bed portions between the inlet and recovery galleries are drilled towards each other such that they should alternate to envelop the oil-bearing bed in a uniform network of wells.
