GlassPoint Solar Inc.’s completion of the first Middle Eastern solar plant that makes steam to extract crude from aging oilfields, on time and under budget, will help encourage orders in the region for the producer’s technology.
The California-based company said today it commissioned the 7-megawatt enhanced oil-recovery plant, producing 50 metric tons of steam a day to be injected into the Amal oilfield in Southern Oman. The plant is a venture with Petroleum Development Oman.
