EOR in the Bakken

PetroBakken considers three EOR methods for the Bakken north of the border:
  • water flooding
  • natural gas flooding
  • CO2
Water is the worst choice. It comes down to natural gas vs CO2.

CO2 is best in getting oil out of the ground, but it is most corrosive.

By default: natural gas may be the method of choice for EOR.

PetroBakken has budgeted for six natural gas flooding pilot projects by end of 2012. These will be in Canada.
