CO2 Sequestration and Utilization

CO2 sequestration and utilization have emerged as pivotal strategies within the oil industry to address the dual challenges of reducing greenhouse gas emissions and maximizing the value of carbon dioxide. Sequestration involves capturing CO2 emissions from various sources, including oil and gas operations, and injecting them deep underground into geological formations such as depleted oil and gas reservoirs, saline aquifers, or un-mineable coal seams. This not only prevents CO2 from entering the atmosphere and contributing to climate change but also enhances oil recovery through techniques like enhanced oil recovery (EOR), where injected CO2 displaces remaining oil from reservoirs, boosting production.

The integration of CO2 sequestration and utilization into the oil industry's operations not only contributes to environmental sustainability by mitigating emissions but also holds the potential to transform the industry into a more diversified and resilient sector. By simultaneously curbing emissions and fostering innovative, value-added applications of CO2, these strategies can play a crucial role in steering the oil industry towards a more sustainable and economically viable future.

Experts at the Advance Petroleum Tech can design the whole process of utilizing CO2 for an EOR starting from data analysis, laboratory experiments, selection of a suitable pilot, pilot design, EOR forecasting through simulation, surveillance plans, and field monitoring.
