A method may include obtaining reservoir data for a geological region of interest. The method may further include obtaining turbine data regarding a supercritical carbon dioxide power (sCO2) turbine. The method may further include obtaining carbon emission data for a well coupled to the geological region of interest. The method may further include determining predicted production data and predicted carbon emission data using a machine-learning model, the reservoir data, the turbine data, and the carbon emission data. The method may further include transmitting a command to a control system based on the predicted production data and the predicted carbon emission data. The command may adjusts an amount of carbon dioxide that is distributed to an injection well and the sCO.sub.2 turbine. The command achieves a predetermined production rate at the well and a predetermined carbon footprint.

A method includes a first injection phase that includes injecting a first gas-based fluid into a subterranean formation at a first pressure that exceeds a fracture pressure of the subterranean formation. The method also includes a second injection phase that includes injecting a second gas-based fracturing fluid into the subterranean formation at a second pressure that exceeds a minimum miscibility pressure of the second gas-based fluid, followed by a shut in period. The method further includes a third injection phase that includes injecting the first gas-based fluid or a third gas-based fluid into the subterranean formation at the first fracture pressure or at a third pressure exceeding the fracture pressure of the subterranean formation. The first gas-based fluid, second gas-based fluid, and third gas-based fluid include carbon dioxide (CO.sub.2).

A method of extracting hydrocarbons from a hydrocarbon well includes receiving an aqueous solution including dissolved inorganic carbon, and extracting the dissolved inorganic carbon from the aqueous solution to create CO.sub.2 by changing a pH of the aqueous solution. The method also includes pumping the CO.sub.2 into the hydrocarbon well and, in response to pumping the CO.sub.2 into the hydrocarbon well, extracting the hydrocarbons from the hydrocarbon well.

A method and a system for oil recovery are provided. An exemplary method includes injecting thickened carbon dioxide (CO.sub.2) into the top of a reservoir containing oil. An interface is formed between the thickened CO.sub.2 and the oil. The oil is mobilized by the thickened CO.sub.2. The mobilized oil is recovered with a recovery well drilled below the reservoir.

Described is a method for treating hydrocarbons in a reservoir. A foaming surfactant solution and a foaming gas are introduced into the upper portion of a reservoir such that barrier foam bubbles form. Then, super/critical carbon dioxide is introduced such that a CO2 cap forms. The CO2 cap is formed above a foam barrier of aggregated barrier foam bubbles positioned at an interface between hydrocarbons to be treated in the reservoir and the CO2 cap. The super/critical carbon dioxide is introduced into the reservoir at an injection rate that is greater than a pre-treatment critical gas injection rate. Hydrocarbons are recovered from a lower portion of the reservoir.

Offshore systems and methods may be configured for offshore power generation and carbon dioxide injection for enhanced gas recovery for gas reservoirs. For example, a method may include: providing an offshore facility including a gas turbine, and a gas separator; producing a produced gas from a gas reservoir to the offshore facility; combusting the produced gas in a gas turbine to produce power and a flue gas; at least partially removing nitrogen from the flue gas in a gas separator to produce a carbon dioxide-enriched flue gas and a nitrogen-enriched flue gas; compressing the carbon dioxide-enriched flue gas in a gas compressor to produce a compressed gas; and injecting the compressed gas from the gas compressor into the gas reservoir, wherein 80 mol % or more of hydrocarbon in the produced gas is combusted and/or injected into the gas reservoir.

A method for operating a kerogen-rich unconventional gas reservoir characterized by there being multiple hydraulically-fractured wells drilled thereinto comprises: recovering a methane-containing gas from a first hydraulically-fractured well drilled into the gas reservoir, steam-methane reforming the recovered methane-containing gas to yield a hydrogen gas and an inorganic carbon-containing gas, injecting at least a portion of the hydrogen gas into a second hydraulically-fractured well drilled into the gas reservoir, and injecting at least a portion of the inorganic carbon-containing gas into a third hydraulically-fractured well drilled into the gas reservoir.

An enhanced oil recovery method in which carbon dioxide is injected into a well to pressure the well or add lift a production flow from the well recaptures the injected carbon dioxide for reinjection into the well for lift or into another well in a group of for pressuring the well or adding lift to the production flow from the well. Geothermal energy in the production stream can be converted to electrical power for use in the recapturing of the carbon dioxide or other operations at the well site.

A well configuration for co-injection processes, wherein a horizontal producer well at the bottom of the pay is combined with injection or injection and producer wells that are vertical and above the lower horizontal production well. This well arrangement minimizes “blanket” effects by non-condensable gases.

CO.sub.2 in the liquid or super-critical state is delivered by at least one carrier vessel from at least one CO.sub.2 storage site, which may be an onshore site, to an integrated offshore facility. The integrated offshore facility is provided with at least one on-site storage tank or vessel adapted to store CO.sub.2 in the liquid or super-critical state and with equipment for marine transfer of CO.sub.2 in the liquid or super-critical state. CO.sub.2 is utilised as required from said at least one on-site storage tank or vessel for EOR at said offshore site or for EGR at said offshore site by injection into a sub-sea oil or natural gas bearing reservoir and recovery of oil and/or natural gas from a resulting production stream.
