This study focuses on CO2 EOR operations and CO2 geologic storage in saline-bearing formations; both individually and in relation to each other. This study is the third of three that evaluate analog industries of CO2 storage (first focuses on underground natural gas storage and second on deep well waste disposal using U.S. EPA UIC Class I wells). Several pieces of information can be found throughout the study including overview of CO2 EOR history and side-by-side comparisons of major synergistic features between CO2 EOR and CO2 storage in saline-bearing formations. Best practices and lessons learned from CO2 EOR operations can provide perspective from which future CO2 storage R&D pursuits and field projects can benefit. A summary document providing a high-level overview and key takeaways of this study is available on NETL’s website under the Collection Name: NETL’s Analog Studies to Geologic Storage of CO2.
