January 2021 In Situ Oil Sands Technology Trends 13 : Objectives and Scope The objective of this study is to identify new and emerging process and technology options: • For deployment in Alberta’s steam assisted gravity drainage (SAGD) in situ bitumen production sector within the next five to seven years; and • To assess their potential to reduce supply costs and greenhouse gas emissions. [...] Of notable concern within the oil and gas sector and the Alberta and Saskatchewan governments is newly proclaimed federal legislation, commonly referred to as Bill C-69, that lead to the enactment of the Impact Assessment Act, the Canadian Energy Regulator Act (replacing the National Energy Board), amendments to the Navigation Protection Act, as well as consequential amendments to other Acts. [...] The CFS is intended to incent the innovation and adoption of clean technologies in the oil and gas sector and lead to the development and use of low-carbon fuels throughout the economy. [...] At the anode, the hydrogen in the syngas reacts with the carbonate ions generated at the cathode and passes through a carbonate electrolyte, producing CO2, water, and free electrons. [...] The solvent is then injected with the steam, ensuring the solvent stays in the vapour phase, and moves with the steam to the steam chamber's edge and condenses.
