CO2 Capture and for Improving Heavy Oil Recovery

CO2 capture methods of post-combustion and pre-combustion from power plant are investigated in this study. Different injection strategies for CO2 and water individually or combined are conducted by the model scaled up from Wilmington heavy oil reservoir. The results indicate high injection rate and high initial reservoir pressure for CO2 flooding or CO2 & Water simultaneous flooding can achieve a high final recovery and CO2 storage. CO2 & Water simultaneous flooding is more economic because of low pressure maintenance and less amount of CO2 needed. On the view Of CO2 storage, CO2 flooding can storage much more CO2 to reduce the green house-effect.
