Storage of carbon dioxide in an oil reservoir for reduction of greenhouse gas emissions

Storage of carbon dioxide in oil reservoirs is considered as one of the main ways to reduce the greenhouse emissions. Different methods have been proposed to calculate the storage capacity of carbon dioxide in an Iranian oil reservoir. Storage capacity of carbon dioxide in the studied reservoir by water flooding model was calculated to be 67.856 Mt. Using analogy method different estimates in three levels of minimum, moderate and maximum values may be obtained. These values has been calculated to be 16.17 Mt, 116.43 Mt and 323.44 Mt, respectively.
