Low temperature carbon dioxide injection in high temperature oil reservoirs
Carbon dioxide injection has been used as a successful tertiary recovery method for the past decades. The main advantage of CO2 is its miscibility with the crude oil which can lead to higher recovery. Large quantity of CO2 exploration is often explored as gas or supercritical phase; but, low tempera...
