The term 'gas-reinjection' is also sometimes referred to as repressuring—the term being used only to imply that the pressure inside the well is being increased to aid recovery. Injection or reinjection of carbon dioxide also takes place in order to reduce the emission of CO 2 into the atmosphere, a form of carbon sequestration.
Gas lift well: gas is fed into valves installed in mandrels in the tubing strip. The hydrostatic head is lowered and the fluid is gas lifted to the surface. Single-well alternate completions: in this instance there is a well with two zones. In order to produce from both the zones are isolated with packers.
The options include chemical flooding, thermal/steam injection, and CO 2 injection. [2] [6] One of the criteria for determining if CO 2 flooding is a candidate for the recovery of oil from the formation is the pressure of the formation. The miscibility of the CO 2 and the crude oil is dependent upon the pressure and the temperature.

Tracers are used in the oil industry in order to qualitatively or quantitatively gauge how fluid flows through the reservoir, [1] as well as being a useful tool for estimating residual oil saturation.
The depleted reservoir formation should be readily capable of holding sufficient volumes of injected natural gas in the pore space between grains (via high porosity), of storing and delivering natural gas at sufficient economic rates (via high permeability) and be contained so that natural gas cannot migrate into other formations and be lost ...
Gas is supplied from two world-class gas fields namely, Gorgon field that contains on average 14% of naturally occurring reservoir CO 2, and Jansz-lo field that contains less than 1% CO 2. [3] Reservoir CO 2 is extracted from natural gas as a part of normal gas-processing operations. During the liquefaction process, natural gas is cooled to ...
Aghajari Gas Injection Project is the world’s biggest enhanced oil recovery) project to be inaugurated in Iran in late 2008. The reservoir dimension of Aghajari fields is 56×6 km with the original oil-in-place of 28 billion barrels (4.5 × 10 9 m 3 ) and 10.2 billion barrels of recoverable oil (based on latest studies).
