1 Solar Steam Generators For Enhanced Oil Recovery

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

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

5 Thermal EOR Delivers Production Source: Chevron

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

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

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

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

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 14 Now in daily operation Under Construction

15 What happens when the sun sets?

16 Hybrid Configuration Annual Gas Savings Oman

17 17

18 In-Country Value

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

20 Steam Gas Steam Generation at Oilfield Gas

21 Steam Gas Steam Generation at Oilfield Sun Gas Solar Steam Generation 22%

22 What is the value of released gas? Steam 22% Gas Steam Generation at Oilfield Sun Gas Solar Steam Generation 0.5 Bcf of Gas per annum 22% (6,000 tons)

23 $17B of additional LNG revenue Steam $17B of revenue 22% Export as LNG Gas Steam Generation at Oilfield Sun Gas Solar Steam Generation Gas 22%

24 15,000 Jobs Created by Saving Gas Steam 15,000 Jobs 22% Private Industry Gas Steam Generation at Oilfield Sun Gas Solar Steam Generation Gas 22%

25 Increase Proved Reserves

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

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

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