2007 winner
Team: Alaska Bright Water® – A bright future for intelligent waterflood sweepcontrollerBusiness segment: Exploration and Production Country: USA
This technology takes advantage of existing surface and subsurface facilities to generate incremental recovery by diverting water into areas that are being bypassed. This technology targets the same reserves as infill drilling sidetracks without the higher cost. The reservoir “tells the treatment where to go” and after reacting will direct water to an unswept reservoir. Incremental oil to date, from the trials, is over 500,000 barrels, and unlocks a significant oil prize globally.
