As we look ahead, many companies are adapting their corporate vision towards a new one focused on sustainably optimizing oil production. In turn, these companies have to identify innovative solutions to make their business more profitable in a rapidly changing market.
Enhanced Oil Recovery (EOR) systems are emerging as a solution, and some have evolved to achieve higher product recovery while mitigating environmental impact. Something to keep in mind is that companies face unavoidable challenges such as reservoir maturity, and evaluating these challenges is a must. The potential recovery of oil can vary as a reservoir matures and its energy evolves.
Let me explain. As reservoir fluid production increases, there are considerable changes in its energy and fluids condition. Energy may decrease, and this drop and change in fluids conditions represent an opportunity to adopt an improved recovery system, thus presenting itself as the best alternative to boost the business.
That is the case of heavy and extra-heavy crude oil fields where thermal methods enhanced with Nakasawa systems, the Super Matroid Heater (SMH) and Super Matroid Cyclone (SMC), represent a highly favorable alternative, both in terms of production increase and financially. Nakasawa’s highly competitive systems, compared to current market standards, help reduce costs by increasing profitability on thermal recovery projects in an environmentally sustainable way. Moreover, with the SMH and SMC, and given its heat transfer high effectiveness, it is possible to reduce emissions by 10%. This feature makes the steam injection process faster, saving fuel consumption, and consequently, achieving the mitigation and control of greenhouse gas emissions at levels well below those established by the different governmental entities.
Throughout this evaluation, it is necessary to consider how companies impact the environment and how we transform the improved recovery to reduce its environmental impact. At Nakasawa, we are committed to reducing emissions by implementing high-quality standards in designing our equipment and manufacturing and operating procedures. Through our technological innovations (the SMH and SMC), we achieve optimized use of fuels and savings in feed water sources. Our challenge is to aim for a neutral energy transition from fossil fuels to green and clean energy through technological innovation.
