Management
Industrial Applications
CO2
Sequestration CO2 EOR
Stationary Carbon Management
Develop CO2 capture technologies relevant to business needs
• Reduce CO2 emissions from oil facilities
• Provide clean technologies for the continuous use of heavy residues
• Reduce cost of oil-based CO2 capture technologies
• Contribute to the global CO2 reduction effort

Sequestration CO2 EOR
CO2 EOR serves as a mutually beneficial technology
Oil fields are well understood and characterized
CO2 sequestration can continue long after oil production is
diminished

Sequestration CO2 EOR
CO2-EOR Demonstration Project
Confirm volume of CO2 sequestrated.
Develop and apply innovative CO2 monitoring
techniques to assess CO2 sequestrated.
Assess impact on oil recovery (EOR).
