Abstract

See full text

A method comprising receiving a hydrocarbon feed stream, separating the hydrocarbon feed stream into a heavy hydrocarbon rich stream and a carbon dioxide recycle stream, separating the carbon dioxide recycle stream into a natural gas liquids (NGL) rich stream and a purified carbon dioxide recycle stream, and injecting the purified carbon dioxide recycle stream into a subterranean formation. Included is a method comprising selecting a first recovery rate for a NGL recovery process, estimating the economics of the NGL recovery process based on the first recovery rate, selecting a second recovery rate that is different from the first recovery rate, estimating the economics of the NGL recovery process based on the second recovery rate, and selecting the first recovery rate for the NGL recovery process when the estimate based on the first recovery rate is more desirable than the estimate based on the second recovery rate.
