A Laboratory Study of CO2 Interactions
Research has shown that fracturing with CO2 can increase well productivity and recovery factors. But how is CO2 interacting with reservoir formations to produce those results? Are there any adverse reactions between CO2 and organic material? A recent laboratory study investigated CO2 interactions within various cores from the Duvernay, Montney and Wolfcamp formations to dig deeper into changes in permeability. The results would determine if the use of CO2 as a fracturing or E
