Abstract
The Bakken play has been of great interest to oil companies in recent years. It produces high quality oil from a reservoir with low porosity and low permeability, but has a rapid decline rate immediately after production starts. This project examines and analyzes the effectiveness of CO2 injection into the formation via horizontal wells to increase and maintain production in an economic manner.
