30 Immiscible or Alternate Gas Injection Should be able to adapt the CO 2 model Same process technical screen economics Immiscible reduces technical threshold Immiscible CO 2 could yields another Mmbo (Wo et al., 2009) CO 2, Nitrogen, Natural Gas or Flue Gas Natural gas currently cheaper than anthropogenic CO 2 CO 2 supply constraint easier to get N 2 or CH 4?

31 Adapting the CO 2 Analog Approach Many costs are likely similar, but... Need injection profiles and productivity relationships! Also information on how these types of floods would be designed: well requirements, compression facilities? Need information on the cost of supplying Nitrogen Collaboration with Praxair, Linde, and AirProducts

44 Revise the 2011 Report Lower CO 2 Price Overriding Royalties on Fed Lands Complete a New Report for 2012 Survey EOR companies for capital expenditures (will they respond???) Waiting for OGC to publish production numbers Use Scoping to Assess Future Contribution Make assumptions about the timing of the projects? More straight forward to estimates 30 year average

45 Subsidies, Taxes and Bargaining Lab experiments suggest that bargaining outcomes may change depending on which side of the market is taxed or subsidized. Who benefits from CO 2 incentives? Limited (or no) funds from EORI at this point, but we do have some SER grant money to help with this. Owen Phillips, Ben Cook, Dale Menkhaus, Chris Bastian, and John Strandholm

46 Tying Contracts Under what conditions is it optimal to enter into contracts where the cost of the production input (CO 2 ) is tied to the price of the output (oil)? We are also seeing these contracts in value-added activities such as Gas-to-Liquids Favored explanation is that tying contracts mitigate the price risk of producers allowing projects with high sunk costs to come online faster than otherwise.
