Extending oil recovery with gas injection

recycle binsWhat are the end-of-life strategies for floods? With low pressure and high recovery, can anything be done?

After 30 years of pressure maintenance, one operator decided to change this old flood to dry gas cycling. This is recovery is working despite the pressure of the reservoir dropping to 1 MPa.

He boasts that by injecting dry gas, he has increased oil reserves by another million barrels.
