This funding opportunity announcement supports the Department of Energy by investing in research through a field laboratory well, or wells, established in collaboration with industry and academic research partners to expand public understanding of:
(1) the overall effectiveness of Carbon Dioxide Enhanced
Oil Recovery in unconventional oil reservoirs, (2) the possibility of combining Enhanced Oil Recovery and associated Carbon Dioxide storage in horizontal, hydraulically fractured unconventional oil wells, and (3) the potential for combining Enhanced Oil Recovery and associated Carbon Dioxide storage in a manner that results in a reduced carbon footprint oil classification for the incremental oil produced, aligned with the Administration's "net zero" carbon economy 2050 goal.
