Carbon dioxide flooding is currently one of the fastest-growing enhanced oil recovery methods. According to the recent National Petroleum Council (NPC) Report on EOR, oil production by CO/sub 2/-miscible flooding will even surpass thermal recovery in 20 years, and most of this new oil will come from the Permian Basin. Why carbon dioxide works so well in the Permian Basin is discussed. A brief introduction to enhanced oil recovery is given, and the methods and materials usually available are described. The technical and economic reasons for the match between the reservoirs of the Permian Basin and the carbon dioxide method for enhanced recovery are described.
