The Enhanced Oil Recovery Institute— Increasing Oil Recovery Through 20 Years of Collaborative Work with Wyoming Operators
Author: Robertson, Eric
Dr. Eric Robertson provides a retrospective analysis of the Enhanced Oil Recovery Institute’s (EORI) collaborative work in Wyoming since 2004, focusing on CO2 enhanced oil recovery projects within the state.
CO2 - EOR technology has been instrumental in producing significant volumes of oil from four key fields: Beaver Creek, Big Sand Draw, Grieve, and Salt Creek. The analysis of each field is accompanied by charts that illustrate the dramatic benefits of CO2 - EOR technology.
As of April 2024, 67 million barrels of incremental oil have been produced from these fields, providing $558 million in tax revenue to the state, and will continue to grow as these CO2 - EOR fields continue to produce.
