Okay so beer aside, this is a classic "shit story with the real news buried" scenario.
CO2 isn't just for making drinks fizzy, we currently have 7 power stations producing 6GW of electricity that are reliant on it not just for day to day production but also shutdown cooling. And yes, that's the same grade as what goes into your Coca Cola or Heineken. Or Brewdog for that matter.
Back to the oil wells, why CO2? Just in some vain pseudo-green attempt to offset the gazillions of barrels of oil that have come out of the field? If you’re just forcing the oil out then wouldn’t Nitrogen be as <strong class="bbcode-strong">affective and cheaper too?
Ha - nothing to do with green credentials, I assure you! CO2 has a suitable miscibility with oil to be useful. I(t's complicated but quite interesting ...)

and fizzy diesel tastes better
