Promoting Carbon Capture Utilization and Storage through Carbon Dioxide-Enhanced Oil Recovery in the People’s Republic of China
Publication | December 2015
Declining oil productions from matured oil fields in the People’s Republic of China and their amenability to CO2-EOR suggest the urgent need to introduce CO2-EOR in these oil fields to stabilize the oil production and improve their economic viability.
Injecting carbon dioxide (CO2) to improve the recovery of oil from a depleted oil well is a proven process commonly known as carbon dioxide–enhanced oil recovery (CO2-EOR). Since most of the injected CO2 will be permanently isolated from the atmosphere, capturing CO2 from an industrial plant (including power plants) and utilizing it for CO2-EOR is commonly known as carbon capture, utilization, and storage and is an effective approach to mitigate CO2 emissions from fossil-fuel based plants.
