CO2-EOR in the energy transition: where, why, what next?
*Please note that this report only includes an Excel data file if this is indicated in "What's included" below
Report summary
CO2 injection is an Enhanced Oil Recovery technique involving the injection of supercritical CO2 into reservoirs to access the remaining oil after primary recovery and waterflooding. It has been implemented for several decades across the globe and presents, in some cases, a dual opportunity for incremental recovery and carbon sequestration.
