Description
A commercial CO2 flood for enhanced oil recovery development that injects CO2 deep underground to increase oil production from a crude oil reservoir.
The Joffre Unit is located in central Alberta, Canada. The injection scheme takes waste CO2 from the NovaChemicals Ethylene and Polyethylene production facility.
Injections began in 1984, and the Joffre Unit has since stored over 1,000,000 tonnes of CO2. It was acquired by Whitecap effective January 4, 2021.
