Abstract
A method for the economic assessment of residual oil zones ('ROZ'), support for the engineering of the design of COenhanced oil recovery ('EOR') systems associated with production of petroleum from ROZ, support of EOR operations, and subsequent management and monitoring of COsequestered in ROZ is disclosed. This efficient identification and assessment of ROZs significantly increases the geographic footprint and target locations into which COcan be injected and ultimately utilized and permanently sequestered in a commercial fashion generating value to partially offset the parasitic costs associated with the capture of anthropogenic CO. Microbial self limitation (MSL) conditions of an ROZ are exploited for the assessment and management purposes of the ROZ.
