Alfa Laval Wins SEK 55 Million Oil and Gas Order in the U.S.

Regulatory News:

Alfa Laval (STO:ALFA)

Alfa Laval – a world leader in heat transfer, centrifugal separation and fluid handling – has won an order to supply heat exchangers to an oil production facility in the U.S. The order is booked in the Energy & Process segment and has a value of approximately SEK 55 million. Delivery is scheduled for 2015.

The order comprises heat exchangers for cooling carbon dioxide in an enhanced oil recovery process (EOR). EOR is an umbrella term for various processes that can increase the amount of oil that can be extracted from a well. One of the most common processes for achieving this is by carbon dioxide injection.

"This order is interesting in many ways,” says Lars Renström, President and CEO of the Alfa Laval Group; "Not only does it confirm our products’ reliability and performance in demanding applications, but it is also the second order in a short period of time specifically for EOR.”

Did you know that… traditional oil extraction methods enable an exploration rate up to 40 percent, but by using EOR this can be raised up to 65 percent, depending on the oil well?
