A warming climate for enhanced oil recovery

Now the storage of CO2 in underground geological formations is one of three measures being promoted to address global warming. The others are reduced energy consumption and using fuels that produce less CO2. Depleted oil and gas fields, unexploited coal seams and deep saline aquifers are all ideal for CO2 sequestration. Already there are projects in several countries for CO2 storage in oil and gas fields, including Sonatrach/BP at In Salah in Algeria, Statoil at Sleipner and Sn
