EORI’s Eric Robertson Presents at the Rockies Petroleum Conference

The Enhanced Oil Recovery Institute’s Eric Robertson presented CO₂ EOR:  Increasing Oil Production While Providing a Lower Carbon Future at the Rockies Petroleum Conference in Cheyenne, WY.

Dr. Robertson’s presentation was focused on CO₂ EOR to increase oil production in Wyoming.  He shared information on the current state of CO₂ EOR in the state and its importance to Wyoming’s total oil production.  Eric also discussed Wyoming’s current and potential CO₂ sources, CO₂ pipelines (capacities and current rates), and CO₂ EOR projects. 

One important highlight from the presentation was clarity and understanding that Wyoming is not constrained by CO₂ sources, pipeline capacity, or potential CO₂ EOR fields.  Eric concluded his presentation explaining how oil from Wyoming’s CO₂ EOR floods can be considered not only reduced-carbon oil, but also carbon-negative oil.
