Abstract
Abstract Significant volumes of produced water might be available from future CO 2 -enhanced oil recovery (CO 2 -EOR) operations. Produced water can be considered as a potential resource if it can be treated and transported in a cost- effective manner. An estimation of potential quantity of produced water from EOR-CO 2 in the Illinois Basin (USA) and a detailed characterization of produced water samples are presented in this paper. A potential volume of 4.1 billion barrels of water from potential future CO 2 -EOR operations in the twenty largest oilfields in Illinois Basin can be produced. Produced water samples, collected from four main Illinois oilfields, have high salinities and contain various major and trace species.
