The artcle describes current experience building technological scheme of reservoir pressure maintenance system under WAG conditions. Special attention has been given to the possible operational risks and stability of the system.
Key words: associated gas, reservoir pressure maintenance system, simulation, multiphase flow, water-alternated-gas injection (WAG).
