Carbon Capture, Utilization, and Storage (CCUS) technology has emerged as a pivotal approach for reducing carbon emissions. In recent years, the application of CCUS in oilfield operations has gained significant momentum. This paper provides a comprehensive review of recent advancements in CO₂ capture technologies, analyzing their respective advantages and disadvantages. It also examines the challenges associated with CO₂ transportation technologies, with a particular focus on CO₂ flooding for enhanced oil recovery (EOR). The mechanisms of CO₂ flooding, including miscible, near-miscible, and immiscible displacement, are discussed in detail, along with the application status of various CO₂ sealing and carbon storage technologies in domestic and international oilfields. Finally, the challenges hindering the large-scale industrial application of CCUS in oilfields are summarized, and its potential for improving oil recovery and carbon storage processes is explored. This study holds significant implications for advancing CO₂ flooding and storage technologies, enhancing the utilization and recovery rates of low-permeability reservoirs, ensuring national energy security, and mitigating carbon emissions.
