	National Oil Congress 2012 Presentation June 20, 2012 At the NOC Congress in London, Rod MacGregor presented a case study on using solar to fuel EOR operations and reduce costs. He spoke alongside advanced EOR experts on the panel, “How can NOCs maximize and optimize recovery from mature fields and unconventional resources.”
	Solar-Generated Steam for Oil Recovery: Reservoir Simulation, Economic Analysis, and Life Cycle Assessment March 22, 2012 Presentation from the SPE Western Regional Meeting by Dr. Anthony Kovscek, a renowned expert in thermal oil recovery. The presentation summarizes the results of a Stanford University study, which modeled thermal EOR operations in the San Joaquin Valley over a 20-year period. The study found that solar EOR delivered the highest profitability, lowest emissions, and lowest economic risk compared to gas-fired steam generation and cogeneration. Download SPE Paper 153806.
