Carbonated water injection: an efficient EOR approach. A review of fundamentals and prospects

Abstract Carbonated water injection (CWI) might be an efficient alternate to CO2 injection technique. In CWI, CO2 exists as a dissolved phase and not as a free phase; thus, it eliminates some challenges encountered in CO2 injection such as poor sweep efficiency and gravity segregation. In CWI, the d...
