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

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
