Abu Dhabi National Oil Co. may start injecting carbon dioxide instead of natural gas into its offshore fields to enhance oil recovery, according to an official from the company’s Abu Dhabi Marine Operating Co. unit.
“We are looking at CO2 injection offshore,” Ali al-Muhairy, senior vice-president of development at Adma-Opco, as the unit is known, said today at a conference in Abu Dhabi. “We have tried using natural gas; now we are looking at CO2.” He declined to give a timeframe for the project to start.
