Abstract
It requires energy to extract bitumen from the vast Alberta oil sands resources, which results in greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. Even though natural gas, the least carbon intensive fossil fuel is used to produce steam for bitumen recovery from in situ reserves, emissions of GHG continue to increase as the bitumen output is increasing annually. There is an urgent need to develop alternative lower CO2 avoidance-cost carbon capture technologies, to mitigate these emissions. Chemical looping combustion (CLC) is an inherently CO2 capture ready steam generation technology and has the potential of lower CO2 avoidance cost. Cenovus Energy Inc. (Cenovus) engaged ANDRITZ Energy & Environment GmbH (AE&E) and Vienna University of Technology (TUV) to complete a preliminary design of a 10 MW CLC steam generator pilot (CLSG). It is designed to produce 16.5 tonnes per hour of 100 bar 100% quality steam using natural gas. Cenovus plans to install and operate it in its Christina Lake Thermal Project (Host). The Pilot will be completely integrated with the Host who will use the steam for oil production using Cenovus’ steam assisted gravity drainage (SAGD) process. The successful demonstration of this Pilot will pave the way for design, construction and operation of commercial CLC boilers by 2020. This paper will discuss the CLSG designs, its development status, the test program to validate the performances of the 10 MW CLSG and the first generation NiO oxygen carrier.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
