WILLISTON BASIN ASSOCIATED CO2 STORAGE FIELD LABORATORY Final Report

Summary

This final report details a field laboratory project in the Williston Basin that investigated the technical and economic viability of using CO2 for enhanced oil recovery (EOR) and associated geological storage in residual oil zones. The comprehensive approach involved active seismoelectric surveys, fluid behavior studies, reservoir characterization, dynamic simulation, life cycle analysis, and techno-economic modeling. The project, now completed, demonstrated significant potential for incremental oil production (up to 2.4 MMbbl) and substantial CO2 storage (up to 12.5 MMt) over 30 years, with a positive economic outlook even at CO2 costs of $50/metric ton under favorable conditions.
