GERI (General Energy Recovery Inc.)

WHO WE ARE:

GERI (General Energy Recovery Inc.) is a Canadian Enhanced Oil Recovery (EOR) technology company that provides solutions to simultaneously recover more oil and reduce greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. With a mission of “Recovering More, Emitting Less™”, we aim to enable producers to achieve the tricky balance of boosting oil recovery, decarbonizing at speed, and ensuring healthy returns on investments.

WHAT WE DO:

Our award-winning, multi-patented Direct Contact Steam Generation (DCSG) technology unlocks otherwise un-recoverable oil reserves at low carbon intensity by co-injecting a single stream of steam (or hot water) and combustion exhaust gases (CO2 and N2) into heavy oil reservoirs.

In thermal oil recovery, high-pressure steam is injected into reservoirs to reduce the oil’s viscosity. The conventional steam generation process creates significant amounts of GHGs, which are then vented to atmosphere. By contrast, GERI’s technology co-injects steam and the associated combustion exhaust gases downhole, simultaneously improving the efficiency of oil recovery (by adding heat AND pressure AND viscosity reducing CO2), and mitigating the atmospheric release of GHGs, permanently storing much of the CO2 in the reservoir.

BENEFITS:

Compared to traditional steaming and heating technologies, GERI’s DCSG co-injection technology:

• INCREASES OIL RECOVERY RATES • REDUCES GREENHOUSE GAS EMISSIONS • Fits within an existing standard well lease • Is modular and highly portable • Minimizes land disturbance • Requires lower capital investment • Allows for rapid deployment

Applications for GERI’s DCSG co-injection technology include:

• Cyclic injection • Line-drive/spot pattern flooding • Early/Late-stage SAGD

GERI’ DCSG co-injection technology offers a cost-effective energy transition solution that can rapidly reduce enhanced oil recovery (EOR) emissions. It is also proven and ready-to-go, TODAY.
