THE OBJECTIVE OF THIS PROJECT IS TO INVESTIGATE THE CONCEPT THAT CARBON DIOXIDE (CO2) INJECTED INTO AN UNCONVENTIONAL OIL RESERVOIR IN THE BAKKEN FORMATION WILL RESULT IN INCREMENTAL OIL RECOVERY WHILE SIMULTANEOUSLY STORING CARBON DIOXIDE (CO2), RESULTING IN LOWER-CARBON-INTENSITY OIL PRODUCTION. THIS OBJECTIVE WILL BE MET BY CONDUCTING LABORATORY STUDIES AND FIELD-BASED ACTIVITIES INCLUDING A PILOT TEST IN A FIELD LABORATORY AIMED AT INJECTING CARBON DIOXIDE (CO2) FOR A MINIMUM OF 18 MONTHS INTO A BAKKEN RESERVOIR FOR ENHANCED OIL RECOVERY (EOR) AND ACCOUNTING FOR ASSOCIATED GEOLOGIC STORAGE OF CARBON DIOXIDE (CO2).
