Flooding formations
I have a quick question. When a field is flooded with gas to increase production of oil can the gas be directed to pre-specified areas, such as a well already producing, or will a new well require to be drilled? Is the gas recoverable?
Thanks

I have always been amazed when it comes to fire floods. Also know as in-situ cumbustion.

Comes from Central-Eastern Kansas back in 1950s and after I left, don't know if it is used now
In California we use steam (=steam flooding...steam fracking) for pretty much the same reasons....API<20
Basics
FireFloods - Fuel is there and all you need to do is supply ignition and lots of air to keep the flame front moving in the drive direction...Heating the oil volatilizes HC gases which supply the push and pressure..
Some problems with a controlled burn and putting air/O2 down hole
Water is easier but does not do much against API8-12
