Overview of the Bell Creek Combined CO2 Storage and CO2 Enhanced Oil Recovery Project

Abstract The Plains CO 2 Reduction (PCOR) Partnership, led by the Energy & Environmental Research Center, is working with Denbury Onshore LLC (Denbury) to characterize and monitor a large-scale CO 2 enhanced oil recovery (EOR) and CO 2 storage project at the Bell Creek oil field located in southeastern Montana, USA. Denbury owns and operates the field and will carry out the commercial EOR project. The PCOR Partnership is applying an integrated approach to site characterization, modeling, predictive simulation, risk assessment, and monitoring to improve understanding of the interrelationship between CO 2 storage and EOR in a clastic reservoir.
