Solar Steam Generators For Enhanced Oil Recovery
Reduction in EOR gas use Maximize In-country value Increase proved reserves
Thermal Enhanced Oil Recovery (EOR) heating the formation makes heavy oil easier to pump
Thermal EOR Delivers Production Source: Chevron
EOR has reversed oil production decline Increased oil production has increased gas use
Gas Supply-Demand Balance in Oman Exported 44% Produced 94% Consumed 34% Imported 6% 22% Enhanced Oil Recovery (EOR)
98% of fuel burned is used for steam 500 Barrels of Steam (200 MMBtu) Artificial lift, pumps, … (432 kWh = 4 MMBtu)
Solar Thermal, Not Photovoltaic Photovoltaic Converts Light to Electricity Solar Thermal Converts Light to Heat
Solar Steam Generator Sunlight is focused onto a pipe containing water water steam Mirrors move to track the sun
Berry Petroleum, Bakersfield, CA Two years of operation
PDO Amal, Oman 50 tonnes of steam per day
Now in daily operation Under Construction
Hybrid Configuration Oman 80% Annual Gas Savings Steam Delivered Sunset Midnight Noon
In-Country Value
Planned solar factory in Oman Creates 1,500 direct & indirect jobs
Steam Gas Steam Generation at Oilfield Gas
Steam Gas Steam Generation at Oilfield Gas 22% Sun Solar Steam Generation
What is the value of released gas? 0.5 Bcf of Gas per annum 22% Steam Gas Steam Generation at Oilfield Gas 22% (6,000 tons) Sun Solar Steam Generation
$17B of additional LNG revenue Gas $17B of revenue 22% Steam Gas Steam Generation at Oilfield Gas Export as LNG 22% Sun Solar Steam Generation
15,000 Jobs Created by Saving Gas Gas 15,000 Jobs 22% Steam Gas Steam Generation at Oilfield Gas Private Industry 22% Sun Solar Steam Generation
Increase Proved Reserves
EOR Production Profile Operating costs (gas) exceed revenue so well shut-in
Solar EOR Production Profile Operating costs minimal (no fuel cost) so well not shut-in Additional Production
Reduction in EOR gas use Maximize In-country value Increase proved reserves
