Regulation a barrier to shift from CO2 EOR to storage
The legal and regulatory frameworks governing the transition from CO2 enhanced oil recovery (EOR) to CO2 storage sites offer the sector "insufficient provision", according to a study by the CO2 Capture Project. The report, which looked at the regimes for CCS and CO2 EOR in the US, Europe, Canada, Australia and Brazil, said there were "significant differences" in conforming with national greenhouse gas guidelines, monitoring and site evaluation, among other issues, between one regime and the other.
CO2 Capture Project releases CO2 storage report

A new CO2 Capture Project (CCP) report has been published that looks at international best practice in transitioning from CO2 EOR to CO2 storage sites.
