CO₂-enhanced oil recovery (CO₂-EOR) has emerged as a major option for productively using CO₂ emissions captured from electric power and other industrial facilities as part of carbon capture and storage (CCS) operations. Not only can depleting oil fields provide secure, well-characterized sites for storing CO₂, such fields can also provide a source of revenues to offset the costs of capturing CO₂ by producing incremental oil. This paper draws significantly on work by Advanced Resources International, Inc. (ARI), sponsored by the United States Department of Energy鈥檚 National Energy Technology Laboratory (U.S. DOE/NETL) [Advanced Resources International, Inc. (ARI). Improving Domestic Energy Security and Lowering CO₂ Emissions with 鈥淣ext Generation鈥?CO₂-Enhanced Oil Recovery; ARI: Arlington, VA, 2011; http://www.netl.doe.gov/energy-analyses/pubs/storing%20co2%20w%20eor_final.pdf] and the International Energy Agency Greenhouse Gas Research and Development Programme (IEAGHG) [Advanced Resources International, Inc. (ARI). CO₂ Storage in Depleted Oilfields: Global Application Criteria for Carbon Dioxide Enhanced Oil Recovery; ARI: Arlington, VA, Dec 2009; IEAGHG Programme Technical Report Number 2009-12], that demonstrates that CO₂-EOR offers large CO₂ storage capacity potential and could accommodate a major portion of the CO₂ captured from industrial facilities for the next 30 years. This work also demonstrates that CO₂ can be effectively and permanently stored when deployed in association with CO₂-EOR, with the amount stored depending upon the priority placed on maximizing storage. In addition to showing that CCS benefits from CO₂-EOR by providing the revenues from sale of CO₂, overcoming other barriers, while producing oil with a lower CO₂ emissions 鈥渇ootprint鈥? the report demonstrates that CO₂-EOR needs CCS, because large-scale future implementation of CO₂-EOR will be dependent upon CO₂ supplies from industrial sources.
