Air injection definition

Air injection means an enhanced oil recovery process utilizing compressed air that is injected into a reservoir. Oxygen in the injected air reacts exothermically with some of the oil, producing highly mobile flue gas. The flue gas advances ahead of the reaction front and achieves an efficient displacement of the in situ oil.
