As a whole, EOR production in the U.S. is currently around 500 thousand barrels/ day and increasing, nearly 10% of the 5.31 million barrels/day produced in 2009. The increase is due solely to the increase in enhanced oil production from gas injection, virtually all of which is CO2. The number of CO2 projects and the production from those projects has been steadily growing since the late 1970s. In 1986, production was 25,000 barrels/day. By 2009, it was over 250,000 barrels/day from 101 CO2-EOR projects. The industry has matured and the technology proven. There have been no CO2 related fatalities since inception in the transportation, injection and processing of the gas.
