Carbon dioxide flooding in offshore Sarawak

Carbon Dioxide (CO2) Flooding is one of the methods of Enhanced Oil Recovery (EOR). It is used to recover oil from reservoirs where initial pressure has been depleted through primary production and waterflooding. The implementation of CO2 flooding involve miscible, near miscible, or immiscible pr...
