Abstract

In the last two decades, due to the establishment of environmental protocols and international laws such as the Kyoto and Copenhagen agreements, simultaneous storage and EOR using carbon dioxide as the main greenhouse gas has been considered. Injecting gases from combustion is one of the methods of extracting hydrocarbon gases that can minimize problems and challenges. In this study, the technical and economic analysis of the idea of injecting combustion gases (Flue gas) as an efficient, available, and cheaper method than other gas injection methods is discussed. The technical results of this project include laboratory studies and simulation outputs of the actual reservoir model performance and economic studies based on the latest price evaluations.
