Site enhancement oil, often called santol or synthol (no relation to the Synthol mouthwash brand), refers to oils injected into muscles to increase the size or change the shape. Some bodybuilders, particularly at the professional level, inject their muscles with such mixtures to mimic the appearance of developed muscle where it may otherwise be ...
Iodized oil, also known as ethiodized oil, brand name Lipiodol, is a medication derived from poppyseed oil and iodine. When given by injection , it is a radio-opaque contrast agent that is used to outline structures in radiological investigations.
It is the only remaining, not revoked classification of the API Two-Cycle motor oil specifications (TA, TB, TC, TD). Being a very old standard itself, most currently produced 2T lubricants meet its specifications, even the lowest quality ones; current high-quality oils exceed them (often labeled "API TC+" although not based on actual measurements).
Steam injection is an increasingly common method of extracting heavy crude oil. Used commercially since the 1960s, [ 1 ] it is considered an enhanced oil recovery (EOR) method and is the main type of thermal stimulation of oil reservoirs.

The most common causes are accidents with grease guns, paint sprayers, and pressure washers, but working on diesel and gasoline engine fuel injection systems as well as pinhole leaks in pressurized hydraulic lines can also cause this injury. Additionally, there is at least one known case of deliberate self-injection with a grease gun. [2]
The oil is contained in a reservoir that connects to a small oil pump in the engine, which needs to be periodically refilled. Oil injection pump on a Yamaha DX100- just behind the carburettor (visible on the left) It is the primary component of two-stroke automatic lubrication system. Amount of two-stroke oil injected by the pump depends on the ...
Water injection wells may be located on- and offshore, to increase oil recovery from an existing reservoir. Normally only 30% of the oil in a reservoir can be extracted, but water injection increases the recovery (known as the recovery factor) and maintains the production rate of a reservoir over a longer period.
