Abstract: A carbon dioxide-water enhanced oil recovery project is planned within an existing gas storage field. Since the oil bearing formation is above the gas storage formation, an investigation of the potential external corrosive effect on existing storage well casings is being conducted. The investigation is to evaluate not only the effects on casing materials commonly used in this field, but also to evaluate various alloys and cements that might withstand the carbon dioxide-water environment. The storage horizon in the field involved is the Oriskany Formation at an average depth of 5,100 feet. Most of the wells were drilled or converted to storage operations in the early 1950s. Various methods of well completion were used however, in many of the wells the production string is predominantly J-55 and N-80 carbon steel, not cemented to the surface or through the area of the Weir Formation.
