CO2 SEQUESTRATION FOR OIL RECOVERY

This experiment was useful to observe how oil can be extracted using
CO2. In this case, oil was extracted from gas producing by the reaction of
baking soda and vinegar

OBJECTIVE
The aim of this experiment was to stimulate the carbon dioxide
sequestration to recover oil.
