CO₂ Enhanced oil recovery

Similar term(s): EOR.

Injection of CO₂ into depleting oil reservoirs to recover additional oil beyond what would have been recovered by conventional drilling.

Source: Based on CSLF glossary  

In the most common CO₂ enhanced oil recovery method, miscible CO₂ becomes dissolved in the crude oil and both causes the oil to swell and reduces its viscosity - which drives and enables the oil to slip through the rock formation toward the oil recovery well.

Español: Recuperación Asistida de petróleo (por CO₂)
