The onshore Gulf Coast oil and gas producing region of Louisiana, Mississippi and Texas/District 3 has 36 billion barrels of oil which will be left in the ground, or "stranded", following the use of today's oil recovery practices. A major portion of this "stranded oil" is in reservoirs technically and economically minable to enhanced oil recovery (EOR) using carbon dioxide (CO2) injection. This report evaluates the future oil recovery potential in the large oil fields of the onshore Gulf Coast region and the barriers that stand in the way of this potential. The report then discusses how a concerted set of "basin-oriented strategies" could help the Gulf Coast's oil production industry overcome these barriers.
