What are the main uses of CO2 injection pumps?

CO2 Injection Pumps are an important piece of equipment in the oil industry, playing a key role in improving oilfield extraction efficiency, extending well life and maximizing reservoir potential.

Oilfield Production Increase: CO2 injection pumps are widely used in oilfield extraction. By injecting CO2 into the oil reservoir, the pressure inside the well can be increased, facilitating the flow of crude oil and bringing otherwise difficult-to-explore oilfield resources to the surface. This technology is known as CO2 drive technology, and can effectively increase the recovery rate of an oil field.

Reservoir Densification: CO2 injection pumps can also be used to densify underground reservoirs. By injecting CO2 into the reservoir, it interacts with the underground rock and causes the pores in the reservoir to shrink, increasing the porosity and permeability of the reservoir. This helps to increase the gas and oil storage capacity of the reservoir, thereby increasing the utilization value of the underground reservoir.

Reciprocating Pumps are the preferred choice for CO2 injection because they are effective in achieving the high pressures necessary to sequester CO2 into geological formations. Their design significantly reduces the energy required for gas compression, making them a more efficient choice for the injection process.
