Additionally, we aim to create awareness of the benefit of solar EOR in MENA through our participation in the industry’s top tier conferences and exhibitions in the region.

Apart from EOR, what are the other areas where your solar technology could be deployed? Are you talking to prospective institutions for it?

From the very beginning, we designed our enclosed trough solution from the ground-up to overcome the operating challenges found in harsh oilfield environments and deliver the lowest-cost steam for thermal EOR. This “made for the oilfield” approach led to a number of cost and operating advantages. For the time being, we are focused on the wide scale deployment of solar for EOR but our technology has the potential for use in other applications in the oilfield that require steam. This would include power generation, desalination, heater treaters and many more. There are a large number of steam-powered processes on an oil field that our technology can provide the steam for, and consequently reduce fuel consumption and cost.
