Carbon Dioxide in the Oil and Gas Sector

by Sam A. Rushing, Advanced Cryogenics, Ltd. | April 26, 2011 (gasworld). 

It is said that carbon dioxide atmospheric content may triple by the end of the 21st century, should major carbon emissions continue at their current rate – and that is frightening, expensive, and perhaps catastrophic.

With respect to carbon sequestration, a major sink is geologic in nature, and enhanced oil recovery (EOR) happens to sequester significant sums of CO2; along with increased oil production – so needed more than ever. A particularly large sector for crude CO2 usage as a liquid product is the EOR sector, by volume, compared to single volume supply to typical merchant consumers, such as food and beverage customers…
