Oman will reportedly use solar technology in oil production, but not to generate electricity, but to "boil water vapor.
"
Glasspoint built a plant called Miraah for Oman Petroleum Development Company, which can produce the equivalent of 1GW of energy to replace the current natural gas boiling method
.
Although the emerging solar energy and traditional oil resources have an "opposite" relationship in consumption, they also combine the two in this special way for "mutual benefit"
.
Since most of the easily exploitable oil has already been exploited, companies have had to use more expensive and complex methods to extract heavy oil
.
In order to enhance the recovery of crude oil, the main method is to refuel the oil through steam to reduce its viscosity
.
Unlike traditional solar power plants, which use heat to produce steam and drive steam turbines, the core of the Miraah project is the use of curved pipes to boil water, the resulting water vapor is transported to nearby oil fields, where heavy oil is "filled" to make it easier to pump to the surface
.
The $600 million Miraah project, which will cost $600 million, is expected to be completed in 2017 and covers an area of more than 3 square kilometers and can produce an average of 6,000 tons of "sunshine steam"
per day.
At present, oil companies generally use the method of consuming large amounts of natural gas to produce steam, but the waste caused by this is equivalent to 1 barrel for every 5 barrels of oil produced, and the Miraah solar steam station is very environmentally friendly, and if used to replace inefficient natural gas methods, it is expected to save 5.
6 trillion British thermal energy per year and power
Oman's 209,000 residents.
As the world's largest plant that uses solar energy for enhanced oil recovery, the Miraah project is expected to reduce the natural gas consumption
of the field by 80%.
