Don't show this message again
(a) Production incentive
(1) FindingsCongress finds the following:
(A)
Approximately two-thirds of the original oil in place in the United States remains unproduced.
(B)
Enhanced oil and natural gas production from the sequestering of carbon dioxide and other appropriate gases has the potential to increase oil and natural gas production.
(C)
Capturing and productively using carbon dioxide would help reduce the carbon intensity of the economy.
(2) PurposeThe purpose of this section is—
(A)
to promote the capturing, transportation, and injection of produced carbon dioxide, natural carbon dioxide, and other appropriate gases or other matter for sequestration into oil and gas fields; and
(B)
to promote oil and natural gas production from the outer Continental Shelf and onshore Federal lands under lease by providing royalty incentives to use enhanced recovery techniques using injection of the substances referred to in subparagraph (A).
