ECOBASE: Establishing CO2 enhanced Oil recovery Business Advantages in South Eastern Europe
Establishing CO2 enhanced Oil recovery Business Advantages in South Eastern Europe (ECOBASE) project aims to develop prospective revenue stream models and business models for CO2-EOR in South Eastern Europe and support the large-scale implementation of CCUS in the region. The project is being carried out in three countries in South Eastern Europe – Turkey, Romania and Greece – with the support of TNO Netherlands and IRIS Norway. ECO-BASE will access the potential of EORStore through the following activities: carrying out an inventory of CO2 sources (potential capture projects) and reservoirs (potential locations for geological storage and for the use of CO2 for the purpose of increasing oil production with permanent storage) in Romania, Turkey and Greece; carrying out EORStore case studies as a reference for the assessment of EOR potential at national level; identifying and carrying out case studies for business plans and revenue streams achieved through CCUS; establishing national roadmaps for CCUS, with an essential role as an accelerator for CO2-EOR; organizing knowledge transfer workshops for CCUS stakeholders.
- Development of the detailed and integrated roadmap for CCUS, including EORStore (storage of CO2 by injection of CO2 in oil fields as a secondary recovery method) in S-E Europe. The roadmaps will be based on the available data about sources and deposits and will be supported by optimization engineering and economic/tax modeling;
- Analysis of multiple emitters for end-user value chains and potential revenue streams in S-E Europe by providing roadmaps as preparation for pilot applications, thus lifting the storage and use components of the CCUS value chain in the EEA to TRL 4-5. The resulting roadmaps will include the technical, legal, economic and public way forward for CCUS in general and EORStore specifically. The cases will also serve as an example for the European application of the CCUS;
