GlassPoint Solar talks heavy oil production solutions

(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.

The four-day event held at the Kuwait International Fair in Mishref, wrapped up yesterday (October 18).

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.

"Kuwait's energy industry is expanding, not only with heavy oil production, but also in renewable energy", Country Chairman, GlassPoint Kuwait, Hussain Shehab said.

Kuwait's first heavy oil project is now in development at Ratqa Lower Fars, which will use advanced techniques and steam injection.
