CO2-Based Enhanced Oil Recovery

  • Chapter
  • First Online:
Microbial Enhanced Oil Recovery

Part of the book series: Green Energy and Technology ((GREEN))

Abstract

Several mechanisms have been demonstrated to be actively participating for increasing the oil recovery by CO2 injection, including swelling of crude oil, reduction of crude oil viscosity, mutual mass transfer amid the gas injected in the reservoir and the crude oil, and reduction of interfacial tension (IFT) or a combination of all these mechanisms. Typical oil recovery by CO2 flooding varies from 5 to 20% of original oil in place. To improve the performance of CO2 flooding and overcome its limitations, various techniques like water-alternating gas (WAG), surfactant-alternated gas (SAG), and alkaline-surfactant-alternated gas (ASAG) floodings have been developed. An essential element of CO2 flooding considered during any field-scale implementation is the source of CO2, which may be either natural sources or anthropogenic. In the case of anthropogenic CO2, the capture and geological storage of CO2 becomes an important aspect of the CO2 flooding processes. The successful implementation of the process depends to a large extent on the experimental and modeling investigations. The CO2-based enhanced oil recovery (EOR) with a statistical comparison of different EOR projects implemented worldwide, the factors responsible along with issues associated with CO2 flooding are discussed in this chapter.
