Gas Based EOR ProcessNitrogen Gas Flooding (Miscible and Immiscible)Nitrogen gas flooding <strong>oil</strong> <strong>recovery</strong> method uses the inexpensivenon hydrocarbon gas nitrogen to displace <strong>oil</strong> in system whichmight be miscible or immiscible depending upon the pressureand <strong>oil</strong> composition. Because of their low cost, large volumes ofthese gases may be injected. The process recover <strong>oil</strong> byvaporizing the lighter component of the crude <strong>oil</strong> and generatingmiscibility if the pressure is high enough, providing a gas drivewhere a significant portion of the reservoir volume is filled withlow cost gases. Higher miscibility pressure required compared toall other gases.
