Engineers from the University of Houston and the University of Texas report that waterflooding with a surfactant—thereby altering the wettability of oil reservoir rocks—can increase oil recovery from 62 to 85%. in contact with an oil phase rather than a water or gas phase. The key problem in applying CO 2.

As liquid ethanol degrades into gaseous methane, it expands, driving advective flow and forcing the gas outward and upward.

The vision is fuelled by the fear of climate change and the need to find green alternatives to dirty coal, unpopular nuclear power and unreliable gas imports from Russia. Every scrap of waste food, garden trimmings and even sewage would be used to ferment gas. Are we going to burn more oil, natural gas, or (gasp) coal to produce it?
