BP and its coventurers are deploying for the first time a new technology that could significantly increase the amount of oil that can be recovered from the UK’s largest hydrocarbon resource.
The Clair Ridge development, west of Shetland, UK, is the first sanctioned large-scale offshore enhanced oil recovery (EOR) scheme using reduced salinity water injection (LoSal® EOR).
The intention is to extract a higher proportion of oil over the life of the field from the rocks deep below the seabed than has previously been possible.
