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 greenhouse-effect.
