CO2 EOR

Proxy models are transforming reservoir management by enabling engineers to rapidly evaluate and optimize thousands of operating scenarios, helping improve CO2-EOR, carbon storage, geothermal, and underground gas storage decisions while keeping high-fidelity reservoir simulation at the core of validation.

The industry is currently injecting more pore volumes of CO2 than earlier. There is more emphasis on maintaining wellbore conditions and improving sweep efficiency.

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.

Extreme downhole conditions may lead to rapid degradation of pumped cement. The understanding of degradation of cement under such conditions is imperative to bring about improvements in the cement formulation.
