Successful Miscible-Gas Injection in Rhourde El Krouf Field, Algeria

The full-length paper discusses the discovery, development, and operation of a miscible-gas-cycling project in a highly undersaturated, volatile-oil Trias Argilo-Gréseux Inférieur (TAGI) reservoir in the center of the Berkine basin, Algeria. Miscible gas injection was initially considered to be high risk and marginally economic; however, with a flexible development plan and careful reservoir management, a successful project was implemented.
