Recovery of heavy oil and tar sands using a high-temperature nuclear steam supply

Creators

Description

In this paper, the application of the HTGR to enhanced oil recovery is explored using a typical California heavy oil field (Midway-Sunset) and a tar sands field (Maverick County, Texas) as two examples. Cost comparisons are made with available alternates, centralized coal, jumbo boilers for heavy oil, and an atmospheric fluidized bed (AFB) for tar sands. 10 references, 7 figures, 5 tables
