Abstract

Carbon dioxide generation in a subterranean formation can be problematic for a number of reasons. Accordingly, it can be desirable to sequester at least a portion of the carbon dioxide that may be present in a subterranean formation, thereby decreasing a quantity of free carbon dioxide. Methods for sequestering carbon dioxide can comprise: providing a CO-sequestering polymer, the CO-sequestering polymer sequestering carbon dioxide more readily than it does nitrogen; introducing the CO-sequestering polymer into a subterranean formation that contains carbon dioxide; and interacting the CO-sequestering polymer with the carbon dioxide in the subterranean formation, so as to decrease a quantity of free carbon dioxide that is present in the subterranean formation.
