use less gas
The low cost of producing steam with solar makes it practical to replace up to 80% of gas used for Enhanced Oil Recovery (EOR). Solar steam generators have no fuel costs, sidestepping widely fluctuat-ing gas prices, so the cost of heat produced is fixed for the entire 30-year lifetime of the equipment.
increase proven reserves
With low-cost, fixed priced steam, operators can optimize recovery strategies to produce more oil over the field’s life-time. The GlassPoint solution provides the economical op-portunity to drive the reservoir harder and longer—increasing proven reserves.
lowest cost
GlassPoint’s Enclosed Trough design enables solar steam to be produced at a cost similar to steam produced by burning natural gas in many parts of the world. The gas resources saved by using solar EOR can then be used for higher value appli-cations, such as power gen-eration, desalination, industrial development or export as LNG.
integrates with oilfield water
GlassPoint steam generators seamlessly integrate with existing thermal enhanced oil recovery (EOR) surface facili-ties and minimize water treat-ment costs by using the same feed water as oilfield once through steam generators.
Designed specifically for harsh oilfield environments
The key to GlassPoint’s cost-advantage rests in the system’s glasshouse enclo-sure, which seals the ultra-lightweight mirror reflectors from sand, dust, dirt and humidity typical of oilfield environments throughout the world.
