Melzer Consulting is one of the premier CO₂ consultants in the world today.  Their geographical base is Midland, Texas, home to 70% of the world’s active CO₂ floods ( map ) and the billion barrels of oil that have been produced there from CO₂ flooding.  In addition to keeping close watch on the CO₂ market dynamics, they consult for a variety of commercial clients and governmental agencies on the technical and business aspects of the rapidly growing field of CO₂ enhanced oil recovery (EOR).  Their reservoir expertise can examine the suitability of a field for CO₂ flooding and their business background allows that to be placed into a business model for adding reserves or expanding a company’s mission into the fields of CO₂ flooding or geologic sequestration.  Their intimacy with CO₂ sourcing can assist with collocation of CO₂ sources with CO₂ EOR.

Steve Melzer is pioneering both the origins/distributions and the application of CO2 EOR in Residual Oil Zones (ROZs), the intervals beneath the Oil Water contacts in oil fields.

Melzer Consulting is a small firm but has several resources it calls upon to assist with larger projects.  For example, for reservoir simulation studies, it will rely upon several associates depending on what technique or simulator software is needed.  For CO2 flood operations, it has liaisons with consulting companies specializing in CO2 flood equipment, production and facility operations design.

Melzer Consulting has a long history of working in the CO2 EOR industry.  If not the right company for a project, they know all the experienced and active producers, service and consulting companies through their role in planning and directing the annual CO2 Flooding Conference each December.  They can assist you with finding exactly the right group for your project.
