Nimr Reed Beds project Benefits
7
Reduction of 300,000 tonnes CO2 per year (based on conversion rate of 0.54kgCO2/kWh)Gas savings of up to 5BCF per yearRecovering almost 250bbl/d of oil
Objective
Maximise utilization of produced water
Reduce Deep Water Disposal (DWD) cost
• Reduce high power/gas OPEX cost associated with DWD pump operation

Produced Water Utilization - Fahud Salt Project
Benefits Reduction of 29,000 tonnes CO2 per year (based on conversion rate of 0.54kgCO2/kWh)Gas savings of up to 0.6BCF per year
Objective
• Avoid oil deferment of 300 - 400m³/d
• Maximise utilization of produced water
• Transform produced water from liability to opportunity
