he 3rd Gulf EOR Workshop will bring together senior level stakeholders from across the region’s Energy Industry, Academia & Government on November

10th, 2019 in Abu Dhabi to explore and capture top recommendations on how to Build a Middle East Enhanced Oil Recovery (EOR) Digital Community?

As per the latest report by IMARC Group “Enhanced Oil Recovery (EOR) Market: Global Industry Trends, Share, Size, Growth, Opportunity and Forecast 2019-2024”, the market size is growing steadily with the market projected to grow at a CAGR of around 11% during 2019-2024. Rapid urbanization, rising global population, increasing demand for and declining worldwide resources of crude oil have played a role in this EOR increase. Each country extracting oil has specific EOR challenges, but there is a lack of shared transparency as to what technologies are available, success rates and what technologies are available solutions.

As outlined in the Gulf Intelligence EOR Whitepaper 2017, the urgent drive for EOR in the GCC has been lacking over the past few years, with only Oman seemingly picking up the pace. In the United States, the role of enhanced oil recovery continues to be taken very

seriously with Assistant Secretary for Fossil Energy Steven Winberg recently saying in 2019 that ‘enhanced oil recovery is a critical component to maximize American energy production... increasing American oil and natural gas recovery and production affirms both energy and national security.’ EOR is the top priority for the Department of Energy, which only this year awarded $39.9M to 5 enhanced oil recovery projects.

How to Build a Middle East Enhanced Oil Recovery (EOR) Digital Community? Over the past two years, the workshop has produced recommendations and discussions relating to the establishment

T

of a Gulf EOR community to advance collaboration amongst stakeholders throughout the region. It is now critical to establish terms and conditions for this community that encourage data sharing and data integration. Enhancing discussion, solution sharing and even developing a roadmap of EOR technologies across the Gulf would reduce domestic R&D costs and through sharing knowledge and insight into CO2-EOR technologies, advance the GCC EOR development and overall assist the uptake of low carbon technologies in the industry.

Maintaing the growth and momentum of the Middle East EOR digital community is key to the advancement of the industry overall and the 3rd Gulf EOR Workshop will look to build on the successful discussions from the previous two years - Create a digital marketplace for knowledge excahnge that hosts a community of like-minded professionals and advisors.

The 2nd Gulf EOR Workshop – November 2018

100+ senior stakeholders from the region’s energy industry, academia and government, attempted to answer one critical question – How to Build a Virtual EOR Community Across the Middle East?

The Middle East EOR Hub

The Middle East EOR Hub is a digital marketplace for ideas and knowledge exchange. Unity equals progress as energy stakeholders embrace their much-needed evolution from siloed efforts into collaborative synergies that make greater economic and environmental sense.

Middle East Virtual Community

The top recommendation from the first workshop was to create a virtual regional Center of Excellence to share EOR knowledge across the GCC and standardize where applicable.

The 1st Gulf EOR Workshop – November 2017

100+ senior stakeholders from the region’s energy industry, academia and government came together to form a community of like-minded professionals in an effort to advance collaboration on EOR and energy security throughout the region.

EEC that brings all stakeholders together to share knowledge and solutions would be a huge benefit in an industry that often operates out of sync. The importance

of sharing knowledge under one ‘roof’ – such as the MEEC – will only intensify as the EOR market grows. The MEEC must offer clear incentives and benefits to spark and sustain members’ loyalty. How to achieve this win-win outlook?

Developing a Protocol for NOCs, such as membership to the MEEC, could accelerate much-needed innovative and groundbreaking R&D that can cut costs and boosts efficiency. Arguably, the more members there are, the less risk. For example, more than a third (37%) of respondents to a GIQ Industry Survey at the Gulf EOR Workshop 2017 said regional academia and industry should prioritize R&D for

chemical EOR. CO2 and solar projects took second and third place, respectively. How can pooling efforts make aspirations from last year – and reaffirmed this year – a reality going forward?

Many workshop participants support the concept of a digital MEEC platform, therefore enabling all members to contribute, monitor and feedback on changes in real-time. Not requiring a physical space or sign above the door can also help streamline cross-border progress, encouraging broader membership. The technology available under the umbrella of the 4th Industrial Revolution is already available to make this a reality; the Internet of Things (IOT), artificial intelligence (AI), blockchain, big data analytics and robotic technologies and many more are commercially available.

Ease is paramount. All those in the oil value chain

already have multiple economic and environmental checklists. The aim of the MEEC is not to add to this myriad of bureaucracy and paperwork, but to make progress easier. The tightrope is real. Efforts to meet the 54% growth that BP Outlook anticipates in the Middle East’s energy consumption by 2040 must abide by increasingly strict lower-carbon targets that support the Paris Agreement at a time when oil prices are hovering around $60/bl. Hastening progress is also a driver to many Gulf countries’ National Visions to become competitive and knowledge-based economies, therefore climbing the global intellectual league table. What boxes must be ticked for companies to join the MEEC? How to unite these EOR brothers in arms?

Points to consider

What would be the top aims of the MEEC by 2025? What overall obligations would the Protocol tie signatories to? What expectations would the Protocol expect from its signatories? Would the market want upmost transparency on this platform? Would that be a prerequisite, or would there be concerns over sharing, i.e. safeguarding IP? What management structure should the MEEC adopt? Should it host a committee? Should hosts be seconded representatives of members on a rotating basis? ■

Funding for such a Centre would be shared by NOC shareholders such as ADNOC, PDO, KOC and Aramco. First steps would be to build a database and consortium to identify commonalities like reservoir conditions and use such data to update EOR screening. Many pilots are being done across the region and these should be categorized into tiers 1, 2, and 3 for example, to showcase quantifiable measurable mechanisms to be assessed – these need to be aligned. Once common reservoir challenges amongst countries have been identified, a portfolio of EOR concepts that will serve the region - for example, those which address heavy or light oil,

STREAm 1Top Three Recommendations1. Create a joint Industry and Academia regional

Center of Excellence to share EOR knowledge across the GCC and standardize where applicable

2. Establish the Gulf as a rewarding place to invest in R&d and collaboration

3. Gulf EOR Conference Focused on Addressing Strategic & Business Topics

Facilities & financial incentives to create win-wins and enable long-term investment for EOR. Need to look at innovating financing models for EOR and establishing new policies around investments. Innovation in technology needs to be matched with innovation in finance.

An annual or biannual conference on EOR should be organized, along the lines of Arabal (aluminium sector) or the GPCA (chemicals sector) for example, at a platform where knowledge can be exchanged and where the business case for EOR could be assessed. EOR needs to become sustainable at $40/barrel and this can be achieved if all parties and stakeholders can agree on such a target and meet regularly to set goals and sign NDAs if necessary to enable a frank and open discussion.

Ensure shareholders in NOCs and IOCs have an understanding of these and that facilities to raise financing are available. Currently there are not enough platforms to attract more R&D investment – it needs a better regulatory environment. Investors want the opportunity in context of a global portfolio.Top executive management at NOCs need to be more involved in strategic EOR planning.

can be selected. How many partners would need to be in a project would also need to be determined. Resources and facilities already available in region should be used.

There are only one or two independent country Centres of Excellence for EOR being established in region so far and these are still in early stages of being created and revised. Need to create roadmap for Centre of Excellence at individual country level first before going to regional level. Suggestion that a virtual Centre could also be an option. i.e. doesn’t have to be a physical space.

Other Recommendations From Stream 1

✓ Revise and align environmental regulations for industry C02 emissions: collaborate with pollution generators such as the power industry and devise and encourage ways to dispose of their CO2 to where it is needed. Application of the circular economy thesis.

✓ Set up a system or process, mandated and supported by government, that links capability and research to asset management and production.

✓ Enhance communication between industry and government.

✓ Promote sharing of data and lessons learnt e.g. via an EOR Camp.

✓ Clarify and agree on investment policy for EOR within NOCs and in cooperation with stakeholders.

✓ Form a JV/consortium between GCC & International Universities with an NOC advisory board.

✓ Plan joint projects from the laboratory to pilot to share expertise, risks and losses – do not re-invent the wheel.

✓ NOCs should share EOR roadmaps – addressing specific strategic needs & challenges, including R&D and technology.

✓ Set up EOR Committee to meet on regular basis and share learning plans and best practices.

✓ Open innovation and Open Data – cooperation across the entire EOR value chain to overcome loss of data, information and know-how. Promote more transparency and willingness to share among stakeholders and across geographies – collaborative approach to cost competitiveness in EOR technology. ■
