State Of The Art On Enhanced Oil Recovery With Co2 ‎sequestration For Low Carbon Industry ‎

Authors : Atia A . Mohammedi K .

Abstract

The growing concerns over the global warming due to the ‎increase in the global concentration of greenhouse gases in the ‎atmosphere has increased the interest in examining various ‎techniques to reduce the emission of these gases and for low ‎carbon dioxide industry. A main component of greenhouse gases ‎is carbon dioxide (CO2). A promising long term solution for ‎mitigating global heating is to inject CO2 into geological ‎formations; either for CO2 sequestration or enhanced oil ‎recovery, or a combination between the two solutions. A suitable ‎choice of geological formations for CO2 injection includes ‎petroleum and gas reservoirs, water formation leg of the oil/gas ‎reservoir or separate deep saline aquifers, deep-sea sediments ‎and coal beds. This study aims to setup a state of the art on this ‎problem.‎
