What is WAG ?

WAG stands for "Water Alternative Gas".
It is an improved oil recovery (IOR) process where water and gas are injected one after another from the same injector wells. For example, water is injected for 3 months followed by gas injected for 3 months and the cycle repeats over and over again. This cycle may be optimized and can vary from weeks to months. 
The process is found to give incremental benefit in terms of ultimate recovery over only water or gas injection.
