The use of CO2 for Enhanced Oil Recovery (EOR) has been around since the early 70’s and was developed to enable oil extraction from declining fields. The process involves injecting CO2 from either natural or man-made sources into the ground to free up trapped crude oil that would otherwise not be possible to obtain. This process significantly improves the lifetime production of oil from mature ...

Recent theoretical developments for observing the epoch of reionization (EOR) have concentrated on the power spectrum signature of redshifted 21 cm emission. These studies have demonstrated the great potential of statistical EOR observations; however, the sensitivity calculations for proposed low-frequency radio arrays have been highly approximate. The formalism developed for interferometric me...

The recent development of tight oil reservoirs has led to an increase in oil production in the past several years due to the progress in horizontal drilling and hydraulic fracturing. However, the expected oil recovery factor from these reservoirs is still very low. CO2-based enhanced oil recovery is a suitable solution to improve the recovery. One challenge of the estimation of the recovery is ...

The Enhanced Oil Recovery (EOR) method aims to increase oil production. One of the EOR methods is CO2 injection. injection mechanism by expanding volume oil, reducing viscosity, and mobility ratio. purpose study was compare recovery factor gain in waterflood, Miscible Continuous injection, WAG with a three-dimensional simulation methodology using CMG Compositional software CW Field. From field,...

Fossil fuels can be used with minimal atmospheric emissions of carbon dioxide by capturing and storing the CO2 away in geologic structures. However, stored CO2 can leak back to the atmosphere reducing the utility of this technology. To explore the trade-offs between discounting, leakage, the cost of sequestration and the energy penalty (the energy necessary to capture, transport and inject carb...

This research examines the liability of storing CO2 in geological formations. There is a potential tortious and contractual liability exposure if stored CO2 is not fully contained by the geological formation. Using a combination of case study and survey methods, this research examines the risks confronted by CO2 storage, the legal and regulatory regimes governing these risks, and liability arra...

As a promising technology to improve shale gas (SG) recovery and CO2 storage capacity, the multi-well pads (MWPs) scheme has gained more and more attention. The semi-analytical pressure-buildup method has been used to estimate CO2 storage capacity. It focuses on single multi-fractured horizontal wells (SMFHWs) and does not consider multi-well pressure interference (MWPI) induced by the MWPs sch...

The successful implementation of carbon dioxide-enhanced oil recovery (CO2-EOR) is crucial in increasing production and reducing emissions. For this reason, screening criteria are needed for the initial characterization a suitable CO2-EOR reservoir. existing model treats parameters independently. Therefore, each parameter has its limit does not relate to others. However, reality, several interd...
