Research team advances use of sCO₂ foam for improved oil recovery and carbon sequestration
Researchers from Southwest Research Institute (SwRI) and The University of Texas at Austin (UT Austin) have evaluated a promising approach to improving long-term carbon storage in depleted oil and gas reservoirs. The team proposes using foam-entrapped supercritical carbon dioxide (sCO2) to prevent stored and captured carbon from moving back to the surface.
