Maintenance more than injectant

A specialized injectant like CO2 or ASP is not magic. It doesn't guarantee a great economic success.

The most profitable floods are much more to do with regular flood maintenance. Even floods with exotic injectants can perform very poorly.

A fresh pair of eyes can see new opportunities where others thought there was none. Reactivating an old terminated flood may add quick oil reserves and production.

Patient, persistent flood maintenance can yield very big dividends.
