Bravo Dome Background
The Bravo Dome is a geological formation located in Northeastern New Mexico in Union and Harding Counties. Bravo Dome field and its associated Bravo Dome Unit covers an area of roughly 800,000 acres producing primarily CO2 (carbon dioxide). Kinder Morgan owns approximately 11% of the Bravo Dome Unit. Production from the Bravo Dome unit comes from the Tubb Sandstone at approximately 1,900 to 2,950 feet.
Bravo Dome Field Production
Oil and Gas Companies active in the Bravo Dome include the following: Kinder Morgan, Amaco, and Mobil
The Bravo Dome field has approximately 350 wells.
Bravo Dome CO2 Use
CO2 from the Bravo Dome is transported via Pipeline to West Texas for use in enhanced oil recovery (EOR) projects. The use of CO2 in EOR projects involves injecting the CO2 into mature oil fields for the purpose of recovering incremental oil reserves. The economics of enhanced oil recover projects fluctuate according to the price of crude oil.
