Deskripsi

Article highlights A methodology for reducing carbon emissions from water injection via well-control optimization is introduced. Higher CO2 tax rates result in optimal injection strategies that lower emissions with small reduction in production. The main effects of a higher CO2 tax rate are reduced water injection and more efficient subsurface drainage.
