    Study Notes

    Carbon Capture and Storage (CCS) and Enhanced Oil Recovery (EOR) Key Points

    • Immiscible CO2 flooding examples include SACROC unit and Denver Unit of Wasson Field
    • USA is not mentioned as a planned CCS hub
    • CO2 sequestration for EOR is primarily to enhance oil recovery
    • Natural gas injection is not mentioned as a type of CO2 storage
    • Coal bed methane production involves CO2 storage in un-minable coal seams
    • Natural gas injection is not mentioned as a method of primary, secondary, or tertiary recovery
    • The objective of 'Advanced' CO2-EOR is to maximize CO2 sequestration and offset costs by producing oil
    • The break-even cost for Advanced CO2-EOR is $22$32 / Tonne of CO2
    • Tax credits for CO2 permanently stored and used in EOR are $85 per tonne and $60 per tonne respectively
    • The proposed Midwest CO2 Superhighway is expected to sequester up to 40 million tonnes of CO2 annually
    • Water Drive is the primary recovery method using the reservoir's own energy
    • The estimated total storage capacity of CO2 in the Weyburn Field is approximately 55 Mt CO2
