One method being considered to maintain or reduce the level of C[O.sup.2] in the atmosphere is to remove and inject it into natural reservoirs not in contact with the atmosphere. These include deep geological formations or the oceans. Production from some oil and natural gas reservoirs can be enhanced by pumping C[O.sup.2] gas into the reservoir to push out the product. The United States leads the world in enhanced oil recovery technology (4). Approximately 32 million tons of C[O.sup.2] are used for this purpose each year (4). Liquid C[O.sup.2] could be pumped to an ...
