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

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
