Carbon Dioxide-Enhanced Oil Recovery in Indonesia

<p><strong>This publication assesses the potential of carbon dioxide-enhanced oil recovery (CO2-EOR) technology to mitigate climate change in Indonesia.</strong></p><p>Although the technology was designed to rejuvenate oil production in mature oilfields its value in permanently storing CO2 has recently attracted global interest. The publication concludes that CO2-EOR could provide a win-win for Indonesia by improving oil production while also helping to reduce the country’s rapidly rising greenhouse gas emissions. It proposes a pilot project as a critical first step to deploy the technology and provides insights on how to create a supportive regulatory environment and financial incentives.</p>
