Viscosified CO2 Widens the Application Window for CO2 Frac and EOR Liang Jin, Yan Zheng

Abstract

Optimized utilization of CO2 for Fracturing and EOR alongside CCS will not only make a positive contribution to the climate account; it can overhaul the future of the oil and gas sector. Our study has been focused on modifying rheological properties of CO2 (liquid and super critical phase) to provide favorable fluid systems in the application of CO2 EOR in combination with CO2 fracturing that would widen the operation window of CO2 Utilization.
