In my opinion, the process will likely export electrical power to the grid as the available joules in the lean process gas are considerably in excess of the 25 Megawatts called for in the permit energy balance for plant utilities.

I'm wondering if the process is capable of using the process gas from operating wells to start new wells.  If this is the case, the limits on THAI are effectively removed.  Surface mining and SAGD require natural gas to produce hot water and steam, but THAI supplies its own process heat.

I suppose the next step is to do on-site coking to upgrade the full product stream to something that requires no diluent.
