CO2 storage can be combined with EOR

An international CLIMIT-supported project led by the University of Bergen has exciting results on CO2 storage combined with increased oil production.

New technology developed at the University of Bergen utilizes anthropogenic CO2 for enhanced oil recovery (EOR) while storing CO2 .

With the use of CO2 foam the oil production increase. At the same time more CO2 is stored than what can be achieved by conventional CO2 injection. Furthermore, operating costs is reduced.

Professor Arne Graue is leading an international research collaboration between 5 universities and 6 oil companies in the US and Europe that have both tested the technology in laboratories and also conducted large-scale injections at onshore field pilots in Texas, USA.

The project has just been completed and the final report with interesting results is available from the attached final report.
