CO? gas injection for enhanced oil recovery (CO?-EOR) is a mature tertiary recovery technology that improves oil production from depleted reservoirs while enabling long-term geological carbon storage. This report provides a fundamental overview of oil recovery, covering primary, secondary, and tertiary recovery and positioning CO?-EOR within the broader EOR landscape. It examines reservoir fundamentals, CO?-EOR mechanisms, injection strategies, operational workflows, and the integrated value chain spanning CO? capture, purification, compression, transportation, injection, utilization, recycling, and storage. The report also compares CO?-EOR with thermal, chemical, and other gas-based EOR technologies across operational and environmental parameters. Recent advancements, including foam-assisted injection, low-salinity WAG, nanoparticle-assisted flooding, AI-enabled reservoir optimization, digital monitoring, and CO? microbubble injection, are assessed. In addition, the study evaluates key growth drivers and restraints, the global innovation ecosystem, leading players, research organizations, funding initiatives, and patent activity shaping the future integration of CO?-EOR with CCUS across global energy markets and industries.
