Thermal Hydraulic Analysis Using GIS on Application of HTR to Thermal Recovery of Heavy Oil Reservoirs

Table 5

Costs of steam injection by considering enthalpy difference of steam.

Injection; mode	Full cost for steam; injection; (mills/kJ)	Full cost for steam; injection under higher; bank rate and lower; fossil fuel price (mills/kJ)
Coal	0.00621	0.00629
Natural gas	0.00672	0.00666
HTR-PM	0.00402	0.00449

Time = 30 years, higher bank rate = 10%, lower fossil fuel price = 90% of normal price.
