Abstract
Systems and methods are provided for combined cycle power generation and enhanced hydrocarbon production where emission gases during power generation are separated by adsorption and applied to facilitate extraction of hydrocarbons from a reservoir. A power generation plant passes exhaust gas to a first swing adsorption reactor. The first swing adsorption reactor adsorbs the COfrom the exhaust gas. An adsorption cycle of the first swing adsorption reactor is variable. An injection well injects the COadsorbed by the first swing adsorption reactor in a hydrocarbon reservoir. A production well that is in communication with the injection well produces a mixture of hydrocarbons and CO. A second swing adsorption reactor purifies the produced hydrocarbons by adsorbing the produced COfrom the production well.
