A few minutes of web research should explain the difference between putting CO2 into an oil-producing formation about 3000’ deep and a lake in Africa that has become carbonated due to volcanic activity. Your research should also show that scientists placed a method to resolve this problem in 2001.

The same geological seals which kept the oil and gas in the formation will confine the CO2. However, the re-pressurization of the reservoir will help displace and produce the oil and gas remaining in the reservoir rock. Because CO2 is inert, the process works. The
Great Plains Synfuels project has been pipelining CO2 to Canada for enhanced oil recovery for years.
