At an inland location, the modules would be transferred to shallow draft PBRB's (purpose built river barges) for transport further inland. The final transport leg would be overland via newly designed multi-wheeled transport trailers, on a new all-purpose, non-tarmac road.• Actively involved in preparing multiple strategic elements of the Project, including: economics evaluations, risk identification / analysis, Project contracting strategy, and Project Execution Plan (PEP).• Proposed and implemented new technology options for steam generation, energy conservation, and produced water treating.• Strategically developed pre-FEED analyses for the following alternates: o On-site bitumen processing to extract higher viscosity liquid fractions for fuel use, o Heavier liquid fuel for boilers, o Flue gas desulphurization, o Oxy-firing modular drum boilers, o Super-module construction and transportation, ando CO2 capture and sequestration.
