• ]. Increasing levels of atmospheric CO2 is a substantial challenge faced by scientists, politicians, engineers and economists, and carbon capture and sequestration (CCS) is one of the favoured techniques envisaged for tackling this. The ease and efficiency of both EOR and CCS require the fluid properties to be
