Most of the oil is still in the ground. We bring it up.

Every well leaves the majority of its oil behind. Spiritus recovers it — turning fields you've already drilled into your next decade of production. The biggest oil opportunity in America isn't waiting to be discovered. It's the barrels we've already found.

Why it Matters

60% of oil left underground

CO flooding gets it moving again. 70B barrels still recoverable in U.S. wells.

-40% CO₂ supply collapse

U.S. EOR CO₂ supply has fallen since 2017.

+19% rising oil demand

The world needs more barrels — and it needs them cleaner.

We make CO₂ on site — and put it down the well.

Direct air capture at the wellhead, injected into your reservoir. The CO₂ mixes with trapped oil, expands it, and drives it to the producing well. No domes, no emitters, no pipelines.

Capture from the air, on site

Our system pulls CO₂ directly from the atmosphere right at the field — independent of natural domes, industrial emitters, and pipelines. It’s a CO₂ supply you control, produced where your wells are.

Below the zones are three circular close-ups depicting the mixing process: the left circle shows mostly oil with scattered gas pockets, the middle shows thorough mixing of gas and oil with varied spots, and the right shows an oil bank with some gas pockets. Vertical tubes on both ends represent wells for injection and extraction.

Inject into the reservoir

Up to 60% of your original oil is still in the ground. Miscible CO₂ flooding mobilizes it . The CO₂ becomes miscible with the trapped oil, expanding it and reducing its viscosity so it flows toward the producing well.

Recover the oil left behind

Production rises from reserves that were already discovered --
extending the life of the field and the value of the asset (up to
2x a field's producing life).

Bring mature fields back to life — with minimal capital at risk.

A new way to unlock the reserves you already own. We finance, build, and operate the capture. You pay for delivered CO₂ and share the upside on incremental barrels — putting minimal capital at risk. We’re proven, not experimental. A proprietary capture core paired with field-proven, Tier-1 oilfield equipment — de-risked at our operating pilots.

How the partnership works.

01

Field assessment

We evaluate your reservoir's CO₂-EOR potential and model the production uplift.

02

On-site capture

We finance, build, and operate direct air capture right at your site.

03

Inject & recover

CO₂ floods the reservoir, mobilizes trapped oil, and production rises.

04

Shared upside

You buy delivered CO₂ and share the gain on every incremental barrel.

How is this different from buying CO₂ from a pipeline?

Expand answerCollapse answer

We make the CO₂ on site, from the air, so you're never exposed to pipeline access, dome depletion, permitting fights, or third-party supply. The molecule is produced where your wells are — a supply you effectively control.

What does it cost us upfront?

Expand answerCollapse answer

Very little. Spiritus finances, builds, and operates the capture, so you carry minimal upfront capital. You pay for the CO₂ and share the upside on incremental production — the bulk of the capital risk sits with us.

What kind of fields are a good fit?

Expand answerCollapse answer

Mature or declining oil fields suited to miscible CO₂ flooding — where a meaningful share of the original oil remains in place. Our first step is a reservoir assessment to confirm the fit and model the uplift.

Is the technology proven?

Expand answerCollapse answer

The capture science is de-risked at our operating pilots, and the surrounding system is built from field-proven, Tier-1 oilfield equipment. CO₂-EOR itself is a decades-old, well-understood recovery method — what's new is making the CO₂ on site.

From first wells to national scale.

A clear path from operating pilots to on-site CO₂ across America's oil fields — building a new asset class of secure, low-carbon, domestic barrels.

Today: Proven at pilot

Capture modules operating and automated. The science is de-risked and the first commercial field is in development.

Next: First commercial fields

On-site CO₂ in the Permian and Rockies — turning declining fields into producing assets, one basin at a time.

The Future: Carbon-to-oil at scale

The next 70 billion barrels, recovered across the country — American, and the lowest-carbon in the world.

The next 70 billion barrels are American — and the lowest-carbon in the world.
