Dutch research organisation TNO has signed a memorandum of understanding (MoU) with the UAE-based Petroleum Institute to work on new technical solutions to increase production and recovery from oil and gas fields in Middle East
As a part of the MoU, the company is going to take over more oil and gas projects in the region.
A TNO source said that the company is working with Qatar University’s Gas Processing Center to design, build, and commission a pilot plant to study the performance of chemical solvents for the removal of carbon-dioxide from different gas sources.
TNO has also been working with Saudi Aramco and Kuwait Oil Company on new technologies for increased oil recovery (IOR) in Middle East.
TNO’s exploration and reservoir geomechanics efforts in Middle East are reportedly focussed on developing and testing new technologies for unlocking more hydrocarbon reserves, while minimising risk and environmental footprint.
