EERC Publications

Advanced image analysis techniques were applied to better understand and quantify factors that could affect CO2 storage in the Bakken Formation, with an ultimate goal of improved method development to estimate CO2 storage potential of unconventional reservoirs.


Laboratory Investigation Of Co2 Injectivity And Adsorption Potential Within The Bakken Formation, Steven A. Smith, Bethany A. Kurz, James A. Sorensen, Christopher J. Beddoe, Blaise A.F. Mibeck, Alexander Azenkeng, Steven B. Hawthorne, Charles D. Gorecki Jul 2019

To assess CO2 injectivity and storage potential within the organic-rich shales and middle member of the Bakken Formation, a series of laboratory tests were performed.


Multiscale Modeling To Evaluate The Mechanisms Controlling Co2-Based Enhanced Oil Recovery And Co2 Storage In The Bakken Formation, José A. Torres, Lu Jin, Nicholas W. Bosshart, Lawrence J. Pekot, James A. Sorensen, Kyle J. Peterson, Parker W. Anderson, Steven B. Hawthorne Jul 2018

This work presents the main findings of a research project conducted to integrate well logs and advanced laboratory- based data from Bakken core samples into geocellular and simulation models at multiple scales. The objective of this effort was to improve the accuracy of modeling approaches for predicting potential incremental oil production through carbon dioxide (CO2)-based enhanced oil recovery (EOR) in unconventional tight oil reservoirs and to evaluate the ability of organic-rich shales to store CO2 and, possibly, produce incremental oil.


Field Test Of Co2 Injection In A Vertical Middle Bakken Well To Evaluate The Potential For Enhanced Oil Recovery And Co2 Storage, James A. Sorensen, Lawrence J. Pekot, José A. Torres, Lu Jin, Steven B. Hawthorne, Steven A. Smith, Lonny L. Jacobson, Thomas E. Doll Jul 2018

Field Test Of Co2 Injection In A Vertical Middle Bakken Well To Evaluate The Potential For Enhanced Oil Recovery And Co2 Storage, James A. Sorensen, Lawrence J. Pekot, José A. Torres, Lu Jin, Steven B. Hawthorne, Steven A. Smith, Lonny L. Jacobson, Thomas E. Doll

EERC Publications

In 2017, an injection test was conducted in a vertical well completed in the Middle Member of the Bakken Formation. The objectives of the field test were to quantitatively determine the injectivity of an unstimulated Bakken reservoir and the ability of injected CO2 to mobilize oil.
