Overview of the Bell Creek Combined CO2 Storage and CO2 Enhanced Oil Recovery Project
The Plains CO2 Reduction (PCOR) Partnership, led by the Energy & Environmental Research Center (EERC), is working with Denbury Onshore LLC (Denbury) on a combined carbon dioxide (CO2) enhanced oil recovery (EOR) and CO2 storage demonstration project in the Bell Creek oil field. The Bell Creek oil field is wholly owned and operated by Denbury, transects portions of both Powder River and Carter Counties, Montana, USA, and covers just under 22,000 acres (89 km2). The Bell Creek project will evaluate the potential for combined CO2 EOR and CO2 storage in the PCOR Partnership region, which will both reduce net CO2 emissions and recover an anticipated 35 million barrels of incremental oil. Denbury will source approximately 50 million cubic feet (1.4 million cubic meters) of CO2 a day from the Lost Cabin gas-processing plant in Fremont County, Wyoming, which is owned by ConocoPhillips. The CO2 will be transported to the Bell Creek oil field via a 232-mile- (373 km)-long pipeline and injected inView/Download Document
