do you have any helpful comments on the other questions Taikun asked?
The short answer is "no, not really".

I have only limited experience with SAGD, and that is mostly on a few particular problems that are common to all the players. From a technical standpoint, all the "new" methods seem to have promise in reducing water and energy use.

Each variant will have new problems as well. Like most things, the devil is in the details and we don't know the details yet. I have seen operators make life difficult for themselves by controlling a process incorrectly. That can have more of an impact on a project's viability than the technology itself. I will have to wait and see the results of sustained operation before I could confidently decide which method is best for particular reservoir conditions.
