CO2 EOR

The authors of this paper present an application of a Bayesian framework for uncertainty assessment and efficient history matching of a Permian CO2 enhanced oil recovery field for reliable production forecast.

A North Dakota Supreme Court decision changed the rules for leasing pore space from landowners and their rights to compensation. This decision and the US Inflation Reduction Act, which significantly increases tax incentives for operators’ carbon capture and storage projects, is likely to spur other states to clarify their laws regulating pore space.

Using a carrot-and-stick approach, the US federal government is poised to spur the nation's oil and gas industry into doing more to combat emissions.

This paper discusses the challenges presented by factors such as infrastructure, types of primary energy, and investment.

As the announcement of carbon sequestration projects becomes the norm, it’s time we look at what we know from a technical angle about how these projects need to be run based on the industry’s experience with enhanced oil recovery.

The paper presents a model for shale gas production in which CO2 is injected by huff ’n’ puff into a hydraulic fracture surrounded by a shale matrix.

Selling reservoirs’ empty pore space may become a new, big business.

Occidental Petroleum is planning a carbon-intensive future with revenues from oil expected to be put toward pulling carbon dioxide out of the air.

The challenge is immense, but the promise is, too. If the oil and gas business can scale up CO2 EOR, then it can play a very big role in mitigating climate change while offering carbon-negative fuels.

DNO announced that it has brought its gas capture and injection program online in the Kurdistan region of Iraq. Already reaching the milestone of 1 Bcf of gas injected, the project is expected to reduce annual emissions from the company’s production by more than 300,000 tonnes of CO2 equivalent.
