Carbon dioxide oil extraction research
Carbon dioxide oil extraction research. Professor Julian Eastoe working on research into the use of carbon dioxide to extract oil. This work involves the development of a soap-like additive that turns liquid carbon dioxide (CO2) into a solvent that can be pumped underground under high pressure to extract oil from underground reserves. The additive is a hydrocarbon surfactant called TC14. A neutron source was used to study the properties of the surfactant as it interacts with liquid CO2.

EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photo print, we witness Professor Julian Eastoe engrossed in his groundbreaking research on carbon dioxide oil extraction. The image captures the essence of scientific exploration and innovation at the University of Bristol in 2012. Professor Eastoe's pioneering work revolves around developing a soap-like additive known as TC14, which transforms liquid carbon dioxide into a powerful solvent capable of extracting oil from underground reserves. This revolutionary technique involves pumping the CO2 underground under immense pressure to access hidden oil deposits. The photograph showcases Professor Eastoe meticulously studying the properties of TC14 as it interacts with liquid CO2 using a neutron source. His focused gaze and intense concentration highlight the dedication and expertise required for such cutting-edge research. Surrounded by an array of laboratory equipment, jars filled with various liquids, and clamps securing apparatuses, this image epitomizes the meticulous nature of physical chemistry experiments. Safety goggles firmly in place, Professor Eastoe embodies professionalism while delving into uncharted territories within geochemistry and carbon sequestration. This remarkable snapshot serves as a testament to human ingenuity and our relentless pursuit of advancements in science. It encapsulates both the excitement surrounding potential breakthroughs in oil extraction techniques and the tireless efforts made by researchers like Professor Julian Eastoe to push boundaries for societal progress.
