EOR includes a process for injecting steam deep into an oil reservoir.

Commonly, liquefied natural gas is burned to heat water in order to generate that steam.

Additionally, a separate 26.5 MW electricity generating facility using photovoltaic panels is planned to power oilfield operations.

The new facility is predicted to reduce carbon emissions by more than 376,000 metric tons annually.

This project highlights a growing trend of oil and gas companies partnering with the solar energy industry.
