“…The US CO 2 sales for EOR reached $3 billion ft 3 /d in 2008 (DOE/NETL, 2008;Jensen et al, 2009;Moritis, 2009). In addition, there are approximately 25 geologic sequestration field demonstration projects in the United States at various stages of planning and deployment, and similar number of tests are being implemented in other countries to investigate the storage of CO 2 in various rock formations (clastic, carbonate, or basalt) using different injection schemes, monitoring methods, hazards assessment protocols, and mitigation strategies (Cook, 2009;Gislason et al, 2010;Haszeldine, 2009;Litynski et al, 2008;Michael et al, 2009).…”
