(Main)Carbon dioxide capture, transportation and geological storage — Carbon dioxide enhanced oil recovery (CO2-EOR) — Transitioning from EOR to storage
Carbon dioxide capture, transportation and geological storage — Carbon dioxide enhanced oil recovery (CO2-EOR) — Transitioning from EOR to storage
This document examines various CO2 injection operations that involve modifications to CO2-EOR or other complementary hydrocarbon recovery operations that can be conducted in conjunction with CO2 storage. The document also examines potential policy, regulatory or standards development issues that can arise in evaluating such operational changes.
