Practical CO-2 Flooding

8:45 Hours
CO2 miscible flooding is a proven Enhanced Oil Recovery (EOR) technique that has application in many companies’ portfolios. Carbon Capture, Utilization, and Storage (CCUS) incentives may create an additional business case for application of this technique.

This course will review CO2 Flooding basics, key areas of consideration for the selection and design of projects, and the operating lessons learned with an emphasis on the practical rather than the theoretical. Engineers and geologists evaluating new floods or managing active CO2 floods will benefit from this course.
