The CO2 would be injected in the ground under high enough pressure to stay liquid.
CO2 gas doesn't drive oil out of oil bearing formations, only liquid CO2 does.
Where did you get the idea I was talking about injecting gas?
Since this whole time I have been talking about liquid CO2 and referencing it in units of liquid volume?
Pumping 2 to 10 gallons of liquid CO2 down an oil well to get one gallon of oil is the only carbon neutral to carbon negative concept I have ever seen that could be economical.
It's the only one that I have seen that was ready to go beyond the pipe dream phase and into commercial use.
But noooooo. People in colorado think blocking CO2 pipe lines some how saves the world.
