Oil & Natural Gas Projects Exploration and Production
Technologies Implementing a Novel Cyclic CO2 Flood in Paleozoic
Reefs This project was in response to DOE's Preferred Upstream
Management Practices (PUMP III) solicitation, DE-PS26-02NT15378.
The goals of the PUMP program are to slow the decline of
America's oil production by pairing new technologies and best
practices to an aggressive technology transfer program directed
to The primary goals of this project are to demonstrate that
significant quantities of by-passed hydrocarbons can be
recovered from pinnacle reefs using a novel CO2 cycling
technology by conducting a field demonstration; identify
abandoned or shut-in reefs that are suitable candidates for
similar recovery efforts; and communicate the project results
and data to small independent producers via an aggressive
technology transfer program. Michigan Technological University A
production response of more than 80 barrels of oil per day has
resulted from the initial stage of repressurization of a
