Abstract

Carbon dioxide (CO2) miscible injection is one of the most efficient manners in enhanced oil recovery (EOR). In addition to improving oil recovery, this method can diminish CO2 emissions into the atmosphere. Supercritical CO2 is employed in miscible CO2-EOR for displacing oil from a depleted reservoir. The injection of CO2 improves the oil recovery through mechanisms such as dissolving, swelling, and reducing the oil viscosity. In this chapter, for a miscible CO2-EOR operation, the minimum miscibility pressure, fluid reservoir thermodynamic, fluid reservoir conditions, first-contact miscibility, and multiple-contact miscibility mechanisms are introduced. The application of CO2 injection in some shale oil reservoirs and related field experiences are also reviewed.
