A crop prediction system performs various machine learning operations to predict crop production and to identify a set of farming operations that, if performed, optimize crop production. The crop prediction system uses crop prediction models trained using various machine learning operations based on geographic and agronomic information. Responsive to receiving a request from a grower, the crop prediction system can access information representation of a portion of land corresponding to the request, such as the location of the land and corresponding weather conditions and soil composition. The crop prediction system applies one or more crop prediction models to the access information to predict a crop production and identify an optimized set of farming operations for the grower to perform.

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.

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.

The present invention relates to a process for purification of a carbon dioxide feedstock, for example from a production well, which comprises carbon dioxide and gaseous and liquid C.sub.1+ hydrocarbons. Specifically, a carbon dioxide feedstream is passed through one or more separation unit wherein each separation unit removes one or more C.sub.1+ hydrocarbon from the carbon dioxide feedstream to provide a richer carbon dioxide gas stream. The process comprises one or more separation unit which employs an adsorption media and has an adsorption step and a media regeneration step wherein the regeneration step may be operated as a batch process, a semi-continuous process, or a continuous process. One embodiment of this method provides for the use of a different regenerable adsorbent media in two or more separation units.

An apparatus utilizes a membrane unit to capture components from atmospheric air, including carbon dioxide, enriches the carbon dioxide concentration, and delivers the enriched concentration of carbon dioxide to a sequestering facility. The membrane is configured such that as a first gas containing oxygen, nitrogen and carbon dioxide is drawn through the membrane, a permeate stream is formed where the permeate stream has an oxygen concentration and a carbon dioxide concentration higher than in the first gas and a nitrogen concentration lower than in the first gas. A permeate conduit, having a vacuum applied to it by a vacuum generating device receives the permeate stream and a delivery conduit delivers at least a portion of the enriched carbon dioxide to a sequestering facility. The apparatus may comprise a component of a system where the system may have a flue gas generator and/or a secondary enrichment system disposed between the vacuum generating device and the sequestering facility.

The invention is directed to polymers that self-crosslink at acidic pH or can be crosslinked by phenolic agents in brine. Such polymers have lower viscosity and can be pumped deep into reservoirs, where they will cross link in situ, thus increasing their viscosity and/or form a gel and blocking thief zones. Methods of making and using such polymers are also provided.

A CCUS system for exploiting a thickened oil reservoir based on an optimal flue gas CO.sub.2 enrichment ratio. The CCUS system comprises a flue gas CO.sub.2 enrichment unit, a flue gas injection unit, a thickened oil thermal production well group unit and a produced gas recovery unit; the fuel gas CO.sub.2 enrichment unit comprises an air separating enrichment unit and a boiler injection gas premixed tank; the air separating enrichment unit comprises an air separating primary device used for separating air into oxygen and nitrogen preliminarily, and an air separating secondary device used for further enriching a part of the oxygen which is subjected to the preliminary separation; and the boiler injection gas premixed tank is used for mixing the preliminarily separated nitrogen, the preliminarily separated part of the oxygen and/or the further enriched oxygen.

An experimental method and apparatus for CO.sub.2 displacement process of ultra-low permeability oil reservoir are provided. The apparatus comprises a displacement container and a core holder. The displacement container comprises a water container, an oil container and a gas container. The core holder is respectively connected with the water container, the oil container and the gas container through a connecting pipe; and the core holder connects with a gas-liquid separator through the connecting pipe. By designing the experimental apparatus, the problem of deviation of the experimental result caused by the reduction of the accuracy of the experimental apparatus is solved. Under the condition that the accuracy of the experiment is guaranteed, a relatively reasonable injection mode is obtained through the designed experimental method, and the recovery efficiency is improved.
