Increasing emissions of greenhouse gases have caused climate change as well as global warming. As a result, reducing carbon dioxide production or its disposal is very important. One way to solve this problem is to inject carbon dioxide into oil tanks to increase hydrocarbon extraction. In this research, a simulation of carbon dioxide storage in an oil reservoir has been performed using a hybrid method. The results show that horizontal wells have better potential than vertical wells for storage.
