State of the art on enhanced oil recovery with CO2 sequestration for low carbon industry

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
