ABSTRACT:
This report summarizes the results of a two and one-half year program funded by the Department of Energy (DOE). Most of the work involved with this program was conducted between June 1978 and January 1981, when the air pollution control regulations that are expected to most drastically

affect future Thermal Enhanced Oil Recovery (TEOR) viability were adopted in California. Several draft and interim reports were prepared during the period and are available from Radian Corp. Volume IV presents the impact assessment of the existing non-attainment regulations on TEOR production. Volume IV (Parts 1 and 2) was originally published on October 23, 1979. Volume III, originally published on November 21, 1979, contains the information submitted to the California Air Resources Board (CARB) relating to the impact that the Kern County New Source Review Rule (210.1) was anticipated to have on future TEOR production in Kern County. This information was presented at a CARB hearing on November 27, 1979, at which time the current Kern County Rule 210 was adopted.

This report presents an overview of the impact of air pollution regulations on TEOR production and summarizes the assessment of air pollution control systems presented in the latter volumes of this report. The following three phase analysis is presented in this report: Phase I - The cost of previous NSR and Retrofit Rules on TEOR production; Phase II - The maximum potential increase in TEOR production; and Phase III - The maximum TEOR production increase achievable by 1990. The analysis for this report was substantially completed by March 1981; however, preparation of the final report has taken several months .
