UPGRADING HEAVY OIL – PRODUCT DIVERSIFICATION

AGENDA


With new re�neries becoming more complex they also become more �exible allowing re�ners to adapt and expand their re�neries in future years.

The latest technologies and processes for the conversion of heavy oil into feedstocks, light and specialty products will be under discussion including:

• Alkylation and polymerisation• Isomerisation

CASE STUDY 1: An evaluation of the challenges faced in the steam EOR pilot in the Aruma Reservoir, the shallowest hydrocarbon bearing reservoir in the Awali _eld containing very viscous tar and bitumen. Case study presenting early pilot �ndings.

CASE STUDY 2: The Heavy oil recovery via thermal methods has been identi�ed as a key growth area in the Middle East. The recently commissioned Large Scale Thermal Pilot North Project is a key project in the EOR arena. This case study will cover the lessons learnt and resulting best practices from this successful startup including: a) engineering standardisation b) modularisation c) operational �exibility d) unique contracting strategy between client and contractor.

CASE STUDY 3: Using one of Middle East’s most abundant resources, Oman has been spearheading solar EOR projects since 2012.With almost three years of continuous success, Petroleum DevelopmentOman (PDO) and GlassPoint Solar are beginning work on their next solarEOR project, Miraah, which is expected to be one of the largest solar projectin the world. Real life performance and operational data from the existingproject will showcase how Miraah can reduce Oman’s EOR dependence ongas with solar energy and meet Oman’s steam demands for their heavy oilprojects.
