Enhanced trough CSP for enhanced oil recovery

Dozens of ageing oil fields in the Middle East, and a growing reliance on gas imports is creating an urgent need for alternative energy sources. At the same time, CSP, more than any other solar technology, is proving its feasibility in a multitude of applications, the latest being enhanced oil recovery for the heavy oil sector. 

The main advantage in using CSP for thermal EOR lies in the economic savings - whether by boosting oil production, saving on gas, or even in the technology itself.
