In this study, the co-optimization of carbon dioxide sequestration and enhanced
oil recovery and the co-optimization of carbon dioxide sequestration and methane
recovery studies were discussed. Carbon dioxide emissions in the atmosphere are one of
the reasons of global warming and can be decreased by capturing and storing carbon
dioxide. Our aim in this study is to maximize the amount of carbon dioxide sequestered
to decrease carbon dioxide emissions in the atmosphere and maximize the oil or methane
recovery to increase profit or to make a project profitable. Experimental design and
response surface methodology are used to co-optimize the carbon dioxide sequestration
and enhanced oil recovery and carbon dioxide sequestration and methane recovery. At the end of this study, under which circumstances these projects are profitable and under
which circumstances carbon dioxide sequestration can be maximized, are given. / text
