Poseidon will use the water when the power plant is done with it.
The oil, which glows purplish when hot, flows to an adjacent power plant, where it boils water into steam that runs a turbine, and is pumped back to do it all over again.
Poseidon wants to piggyback its plant onto the power plant so that it could draw water from these pipes.
The first phase of construction includes early earthwork and concrete foundations for a mill and on-site power plant, expansion of the existing water-supply system, construction and operation of the initial phase of a new tailings facility, and expansion of camp facilities by approximately 6, 600 additional beds for workers.

Alford also said the storm knocked out power to the Oklahoma City area's Draper Water Treatment Plant.
But the region gets roughly 30% of its electricity from nuclear power plants, and each plant needs prodigious amounts of water.
The report said the two nations signed a deal Thursday to expand sharing of electricity and water, with Namjou saying Iranian firms are ready to rebuild damaged power plant facilities.
Al-Tunisi's group is also planning the water, power, logistics and safety backups for an industrial park adjacent to the plant, where manufacturers will be lured in to transform raw plastics into the likes of PVC pipe, injection-molded automotive parts, packaging and carpets.
The water originates near a lava flow 6, 000 feet below ground, passes through a nearby geothermal power plant and cools to just over 100 degrees Fahrenheit by the time it reaches the lagoon.
The Japanese government now says that levels of radioactive contamination beyond the legal health limits have been found in tap water in a town nearly 30-miles (46-kilometers) northwest of the Fukushima nuclear power plant.

Seven boiling water reactors at the Fukushima Daiichi plant and the neighbouring Fukushima Daini plant, both operated by Tokyo Electric Power (Tepco), shut down on Friday.
The Los Angeles Department of Water and Power (LADWP) agreed to purchase all of the electricity generated by the K Road Moapa Solar plant, a 250-megawatt project slated to be built on the Moapa River Paiute Reservation, located northeast of Las Vegas.
