  1. Solar Steam Generators For Enhanced Oil Recovery

  2. Reduction in EOR gas use Maximize In-country value Increase proved reserves

  3. Please visit http://www.youtube.com/user/GlassPointSolar

  4. Thermal Enhanced Oil Recovery (EOR) heating the formation makes heavy oil easier to pump

  5. Thermal EOR Delivers Production Source: Chevron

  6. EOR has reversed oil production decline Increased oil production has increased gas use

  7. Gas Supply-Demand Balance in Oman Exported 44% Produced 94% Consumed 34% Imported 6% 22% Enhanced Oil Recovery (EOR)

  8. 98% of fuel burned is used for steam 500 Barrels of Steam (200 MMBtu) Artificial lift, pumps, … (432 kWh = 4 MMBtu)

  9. Solar Thermal, Not Photovoltaic Photovoltaic Converts Light to Electricity Solar Thermal Converts Light to Heat

  10. Solar Steam Generator Sunlight is focused onto a pipe containing water water steam Mirrors move to track the sun

  11. Berry Petroleum, Bakersfield, CA Two years of operation

  12. PDO Amal, Oman 50 tonnes of steam per day

  13. First Steam 12-12-12

  14. Now in daily operation Under Construction

  15. What happens when the sun sets?

  16. Hybrid Configuration Oman 80% Annual Gas Savings Steam Delivered Sunset Midnight Noon

  17. In-Country Value

  18. Planned solar factory in Oman Creates 1,500 direct & indirect jobs

  19. Steam Gas Steam Generation at Oilfield Gas

  20. Steam Gas Steam Generation at Oilfield Gas 22% Sun Solar Steam Generation

  21. 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

  22. $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

  23. 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

  24. Increase Proved Reserves

  25. EOR Production Profile Operating costs (gas) exceed revenue so well shut-in

  26. Solar EOR Production Profile Operating costs minimal (no fuel cost) so well not shut-in Additional Production

  27. Reduction in EOR gas use Maximize In-country value Increase proved reserves
