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.
Carbon capture, utilization and sequestration (CCUS) involves using captured CO2 in processes such as enhanced oil recovery, where CO2 is injected underground to help extract additional oil instead of being released into the atmosphere. This extends the CO2's usefulness before it's stored underground.

Wileman discussed this research in her presentation, "Supercritical CO₂ Foam for Enhanced Oil Recovery and CCUS: Insights from Simulated Reservoirs," at the Carbon Capture Technology Expo in Houston on June 26.
