(MENAFN) The leading supplier of solar energy to the oil and gas industry, GlassPoint Solar, held a discussion about the possible ways where its solar technology can be well deployed to produce heavy oil at the continuing Kuwait Oil & Gas Show 2017 (KOGS), held in Kuwait.

GlassPoint's solar technology can sustainably provide the majority of the steam required for this project, which will reduce production costs as well as strengthening energy security, according to a statement.
