Gas Based EOR ProcessCO2 Flooding (Miscible & Immiscible)Limitations•Source of CO2 can act as a Limitation for this process to beapplied.•Very low viscosity of CO2 results in poor mobility control.•Early breakthrough of CO2 causes several problems.•CO2 gets dissolved into formation water making it acidic. Thiscauses corrosion of the tubulars in the well bore.•Repress rising of CO2 for recycling.•A A high requirement of CO2 per incremental barrel of <strong>oil</strong> produced.Safety hazards.
