Enhance Energy – Clive Oil Battery

Gas Liquids Engineering Ltd. (GLE) is currently undertaking EPCM services for Enhance Energy to expand the Clive Oil Battery. CO2 will be injected into the aging Clive Oil Field for the purpose of enhanced oil recovery. The injection of CO2 will aid significantly in the recovery of hydrocarbons from the reservoir and add to the remaining life of the oil field. CO2 will be captured at the North West Redwater Partnership (NWRP) Sturgeon Refinery and the Nutrien Redwater Fertilizer Facility, compressed through a compressor station and sent through the Alberta Carbon Trunk Line (ACTL) to the Clive Oil Battery. The CO2 capture projects and compressor stations were completed by Wolf Midstream. The facility is located in Central Alberta; about 10 km south east of the village of Clive.

The Clive Oil Battery CO2 project will be developed in stages to reflect the availability of CO2 and the response time of the reservoir.
