Abstract
CO2-EOR (carbon dioxide enhanced oil recovery) is one of the EOR (enhanced oil recovery) techniques, and since the early 1970s, numerous researches have been made about pilot tests and field-scale CO2-EOR projects. Injection schemes of CO2-EOR can be classified as continuous CO2 injection, WAG injection, cyclic CO2 injection,and hot CO2 injection, and analyses on main characteristics and field applications for each injection scheme were performed in this study. Among analyzed field cases, all cases except for Bati Raman field are in operation on miscible CO2-EOR, and they have a huge difference in the source of CO2. Therefore, it is needed to analyze CO2 supply conditions in identifying CO2-EOR application possibility, and investigation on the field cases technically categorized will be utilized in designing a CO2-EOR project.

CO2-EOR은 원유회수증진법(enhanced oil recovery, EOR) 중 하나로 1970년대 초부터 파일럿 테스트 및 현장 규모의 다양한 연구가 진행되어왔다. 여러 현장에서 적용되고 있는 CO2-EOR은 크게 CO2 연속주입공법, WAG 공법, cyclic CO2 자극법, 그리고 hot CO2 주입법으로 분류되며, 이에 대한 각 기술별 주요 특성 및 현장사례 분석이 수행되었다. 분석된 현장사례 중 Bati Raman 유전을 제외한 모든 유전에서 혼화 CO2-EOR을 실시하고 있으며, 사용되는 CO2의 공급원에 있어서도 큰 차이가 있음을 확인하였다. 따라서 CO2-EOR의 적용 가능성을 평가하기 위해 현장별 CO2 공급 조건에 대한 분석이 요구되며, 본 연구에서 수행된 CO2-EOR의 기술 분류에 따른 현장사례 분석은 향후 CO2-EOR 프로젝트의 설계를 위한 기초자료로 활용될 수 있을 것으로 기대된다.
