Water reuse in SAGD once operating is really high. Approaching unity for mature fields. So depending on your water treatment processes at power plants your water use might be similar. With a SOR of three (steam oil Ratio) and a minimum 95% water recycle rate. You use .08 Barrels of water per barrel of oil. And your make up water is Brackish so it isn't really useable water anyway.

Not the same technology I am referring to...I think.
I was part of a pilot project a few years back that put electric heaters in the well bore to heat up the formation.
After 4 - 6 months of "Heat soaking" a producer well (directly below the heater well) would produce the results.
