During initial exploration, natural gas formation pressures are sufficient to sustain maximal output. However, these pressures will eventually dwindle, resulting in diminished productivity. In these cases, enhanced oil recovery techniques such as carbon dioxide pumping become the most efficient method to maximize gas well output. Removing CO2 emissions from natural gas is becoming a matter of worldwide importance. Let’s discuss what CO2 pumping is and how it helps with natural gas processing.
What Is CO2 Pumping?
CO2 pumping represents an enhanced oil recovery technique that is both beneficial to oil recovery efforts and the natural environment. Natural gas recovery is typically associated with the release of significant levels of gaseous carbon release.
With CO2 pumping, the discharge of excess carbon emissions into the environment can be prevented. In addition, carbon dioxide generated from recovery efforts can be redirected into natural gas formations to boost failing pressures and maximize their outputs.
CO2 Pumping Applications
The key application of CO2 carbon dioxide pumping is in oil and gas recovery operations as an enhanced oil recovery technique. CO2 gas sources from various industrial processes are integrated into the manufacturing cycle to boost overall productivity.
Benefits of CO2 Pumping
As mentioned earlier, pumping carbon dioxide is advantageous in optimizing well performance. The key benefits of CO2 pumping are outlined below:
- Enhanced oil recovery
- Carbon recapture and re-use
- Compliance with industrial emission regulations
- Economic growth
