The Prospect for CO2 Enhanced Oil Recovery as a Significant Carbon Sequestration Option

Today the economics of CO2 EOR Projects are evaluated solely on the basis on the value of incremental oil production and the cost of CO2.  Tomorrow the value of CO2 sequestration would change the economics to include both storage and enhanced production.  This potential has been noted in past work at Stanford and we will discuss a novel federal policy to encourage this option.
