BCBob, you're starting to get beyond my knowledge at this point, sorry. There is a video on the DNR website showing several college professors and other experts saying that the CO2 is "permanently" sequestered underground when used in this manner. Not sure how the physics of it all works however.

The CO2 is getting pumped 1-2 miles underground, with no way to get out other than by pushing the oil up the wellbores. I don't believe there is much mixing in of CO2 with the oil during this process (similar to what happens with an oil reservoir sitting on top of natural gas).
