IOC, OIL tie up for CO2-Enhanced Oil Recovery project in Assam

13 Jan 2020 Evaluate

Indian Oil Corporation (IOC) and Oil India (OIL) have signed a memorandum of understanding (MoU) for collaborating on a unique CO2-Enhanced Oil Recovery (EOR) project in Assam.

The two mega corporates intend to collaborate in developing Carbon Capture, Utilisation and Storage (CCUS) as an effective emissions mitigation tool to combat climate change. Injecting carbon dioxide (CO2) into oil reservoirs for effecting Enhanced Oil Recovery (EOR) offers a potentially attractive way to spur greater CCUS action to support climate change-related carbon storage objectives as well as improve oil-well productivity.

It is proposed that CO2 captured from the flue-gas stacks of Hydrogen Generation Unit & Gas Turbine power plant at Digboi Refinery will be transferred to the Nahorkatiya & Dikom oil fields of OIL in Assam, located approximately 50 - 60 km from Digboi.

IOC is the largest enterprise in the country and the foremost ranked Fortune Global 500 Company in India and has presence in the complete hydrocarbon value chain from downstream refining & marketing, pipeline transportation, Petrochemicals, E&P and Gas Marketing.
