The legal and regulatory frameworks governing the transition from CO2 EOR enhanced oil recovery (EOR) to CO2 EOR storage sites offer the sector "insufficient provision", according to a study by the CO2 EOR Capture Project. The report, which looked at the regimes for CCS and CO2 EOR EOR in the US, Europe, Canada, Australia and Brazil, said there were "significant differences" in conforming with national greenhouse gas guidelines, monitoring and site evaluation, among other issues, between one regime and the other.
