Why is it important?

CO2 injection in depleted reservoirs is considered one of the most potential approach to control greenhouse emissions and environmental problems and also it may result in extra oil recovery. Therefore, its injection looks economically feasible. However, its injection into the depleted reservoirs faces a number of reservoir engineering problems, mainly formation damage and CO2 mobility control. This paper explains CO2 injection related problems and suggests how to control them.

Perspectives

This paper presents how we can inject CO2 safely and cost effectively in underground oil and gas reservoir. This publications show different problems and their solutions that may be caused due to CO2 injection due CO2 based EOR.
