A numerical simulation study of CO2 injection for enhancing hydrocarbon recovery and sequestration in liquid-rich shales
Abstract Less than 10% of oil is usually recovered from liquid-rich shales and this leaves much room for improvement, while water injection into shale formation is virtually impossible because of the extremely low permeability of the formation matrix. Injecting carbon dioxide (CO2) into oil shale fo...
