Norway Sees Injecting CO2 into Oil Fields as Too Pricey

Injecting carbon dioxide (CO2) into oil fields boosts production and even helps reduce emissions of the gas, but is for now too costly and too risky, according to a new study published in Oslo.

“At the present time, CO2 injection does not appear to be a commercial alternative for improved oil recovery for the licensees on the Norwegian shelf,” said the report, which was commissioned by the Norwegian Petroleum Directorate.
