This Department of Energy grant supports research via field laboratory wells, collaborating with industry and academic partners. Its core purpose is to deepen understanding of Carbon Dioxide Enhanced Oil Recovery (CO2-EOR) in unconventional oil reservoirs. Key investigations include CO2-EOR effectiveness, the feasibility of combining EOR with CO2 storage in horizontal, hydraulically fractured unconventional wells, and the potential for this integrated approach to yield incremental oil with a reduced carbon footprint. This initiative aligns with the Administration’s “net zero” carbon economy goal by 2050, advancing sustainable energy practices and decarbonization.
