(KNOX) – UND’s Energy and Environmental Research Center will receive $11.6 million to investigate how CO2 injected into an unconventional reservoir in the Bakken Formation… will result in increased oil and gas production… while additionally increasing the lifespans of the wells that will eventually benefit from this research.
These funds will help assess the feasibility for permanent storage of CO2 in unconventional shale oil and gas reservoirs and repurpose existing infrastructure.
The money comes from the U.S. Department of Energy.
