Data confidence 70 medium
How this score is calculated

It is built from checkable properties of the record itself: whether the article has a DOI, how many independent sources confirmed its data, whether the required fields are filled in, and how recent the latest confirmation is. Disagreement between sources and a missing identifier lower it. A value of 80 or above means the record was published without further checking; 60 to 79 means it is published at reduced confidence, with a manual check advisable. A record verified by an editor by hand is never pushed below 90 by a recalculation. This scores our data about the article, not the article itself.

Abstract

Abstract Carbon dioxide has been proved an effective agent to enhance recovery for relatively light crude oil, but its applications in heavy oil are very limited. This short communication presents field trials of CO2 huff and puff at Dagang, a heavy oil field in Northeast China. Two wells received CO2 injection, and both wells saw higher oil output and lower water‐cut after CO2 treatment. This project proves CO2 is effective for heavy oil recovery. Recommendations are also made for future CO2 huff and puff projects. © 2023 Society of Chemical Industry and John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
