UND’s Energy and Environment Research Center Receives More Than $11 Million for Enhanced Oil Recovery
WASHINGTON – The U.S. Department of Energy’s (DOE) Office of Fossil Energy and Carbon Management (FECM) announced the University of North Dakota (UND) Energy and Environmental Research Center will receive $11,600,000 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 which 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.
