Sustainability
Responsible approach to the environment
PM Industrial in its activities is guided by the principles of sustainable development, seeking to strike a balance between environmental sustainability and social and economic development.
Our approach is to consistently reduce the technogenic load on the environment by introducing the best available technologies. Polymer and surfactant-polymer flooding contribute to the implementation of the ESG agenda and are aimed at decarbonization and environmental safety improvement.
🌿 Environmental benefits of the technology
- The chemical reagents and concentrations used do not pose a threat to the environment and are widely used in medicine, agriculture and drinking water purification.
- The polymer molecule's size prevents bacteria from using it as a ready source of nutrients.
- CO2 into the atmosphere by reducing the volume of water involved in injection and production
- Polymer compounds are eventually easily decomposed without releasing CO2
- Chemical reagents are physically and chemically inert with respect to rock and formation fluids
📉 Decarbonization of oil production
The issue of reducing greenhouse gas emissions into the atmosphere (decarbonization) becomes especially relevant with an increase in water cut at the fields. Thus, when the water cut of the produced product is more than 90%, the volumes of CO 2 emissions generated as a result of the extraction of 1 barrel of oil are comparable to emissions from the combustion of a barrel of oil.
Key effect
Polymer and surfactant-polymer flooding can significantly reduce carbon dioxide emissions (in some cases up to 5 times per barrel of oil produced), by decreasing water cut and reducing energy consumption for water circulation at the field, which in addition to environmental also gives an additional economic effect.
