"The introduction of carbon dioxide will be a major change for us," he said on the sidelines of an oil conference. "It's part of our social responsibility."</p> <p>The Abu Dhabi Company for Onshore Oil Operations (ADCO), the ADNOC subsidiary responsible for implementing both carbon injection projects, envisaged significant advantages in using the gas. But this must be balanced against increased costs, said Shahin Nagahban, the manager for ADCO's enhanced oil recovery.</p> <p>Carbon dioxide dissolves in oil and could free up as much as 1.5 billion barrels of oil locked in geological walls between layers of oil and gas, Mr Nagahban said.</p></p> <div class="ad-mpu"> <!--BEGIN Advert_Type5_MPU --> <!-- advert_type: Advert_Type5_MPU --> <!-- channelNameMPU: /thenational/Home/Business/Energy --> <!-- scriptval: http://ad.doubleclick.net/adj/tn.ae_business/business_energy;sz=300x250;tile=2;'+vars+';'+demographics+';'+surroundTag+';ar='+article+';lan='+admcdfp_sitelang+';!c='+category+';ord='+ord+'? --> <!-- noscript: http://ad.doubleclick.net/jump/tn.ae_business/business_energy;sz=300x250;tile=2;ord=123456789? --> <script type="text/javascript"> //<![CDATA[ if(typeof(ord) == 'undefined') {var ord = ''; } if(typeof(surroundTag) == 'undefined') { var surroundTag = ''; } if(typeof(article) == 'undefined') { var article = ''; } if(typeof(category) == 'undefined') { var category = ''; } if(typeof(demographics) == 'undefined') { var demographics = ''; } if(typeof(vars) == 'undefined') { var vars = ''; } if(typeof(meta) == 'undefined') { var meta = ''; } if(typeof(Comp_Name) == 'undefined') { var Comp_Name = ''; } if(typeof(Country_Name) == 'undefined') { var Country_Name = ''; } if(typeof(Team_Name) == 'undefined') { var Team_Name = ''; } if(typeof(category) == 'undefined') { var category = ''; } if(typeof(admcdfp_sitelang) == 'undefined') { var admcdfp_sitelang = ''; } if(typeof(demographics) == 'undefined') { var demographics = ''; } var scriptval = 'tn.ae_business/business_energy;sz=300x250;tile=2;'+vars+';'+demographics+';'+surroundTag+';ar='+article+';lan='+admcdfp_sitelang+';!c='+category+';ord='+ord+'?'; var noscriptval = 'tn.ae_business/business_energy;sz=300x250;tile=2;ord=123456789?'; document.write('<script type="text/javascript" src="https://web.archive.org/web/20101104012009/http://ad.doubleclick.net/adj/'+scriptval+'"><\/script>'); //]]> </script> <noscript> <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20101104012009/http://ad.doubleclick.net/jump/tn.ae_business/business_energy;sz=300x250;tile=2;ord=123456789" target="_blank"> <img src="https://web.archive.org/web/20101104012009im_/http://ad.doubleclick.net/ad/tn.ae_business/business_energy;sz=300x250;tile=2;ord=123456789" border="0" alt=""/> </a></noscript> <!--END Advert_Type5_MPU--> </div> <p> <p>ADNOC officials have raised concerns about the high cost of using carbon dioxide obtained from Masdar, Abu Dhabi's clean energy company, which plans to filter it from three power plants and the steel mill in Musaffah.
