Dec 4, 2018 · BP uses its LoSal oil recovery technology at Clair Ridge for reducing salinity in the water injection systems in order to improve the oil recovery. The oil produced by the Clair Ridge production platform is sent via a 5.5km-long and 22in-diameter new oil export pipeline connecting the existing oil export pipeline of the Clair phase one project.

Apr 30, 2021 · Clair Ridge is the first large-scale project to implement BP’s patented LoSal enhanced oil recovery (EOR) system, which was successfully tested at the Endicott field. The technology will alter the salinity of water injected into the reservoirs and increase oil recovery.

The Clair Ridge platform is now producing oil from the giant Clair field – a massive oil reservoir discovered in 1977. Geologist Bill Senior, who was part of the original discovery team, remembers those early days west of Shetland.

Nov 23, 2018 · Two new, bridge-linked platforms and oil and gas export pipelines have been constructed as part of the Clair Ridge project. According to BP, the partners invested more than £4.5 billion in the new offshore facilities, designed for 40 years of production.

Dec 4, 2018 · It is designed to recover 640m bbl of oil and is aiming for a peak production of 120,000 bbl/d which will supply 10% of the UK’s oil. It consists of two bridge-linked platforms and includes a new oil and gas pipeline. The Clair Ridge project has …
