Réinjection. Ce terme est souvent employé à tort, en lieu et place du terme: injection. Réinjecter signifie: injecter à nouveau (une deuxième fois, par exemple). Or l'eau et le gaz naturel associés [...] à la production du pétrole quand ils sont renvoyés par injection dans le gisement le sont une seule et unique fois, en toute rigueur il n'y a donc pas «réinjection» et cela a fortiori quand on injecte de l'eau prise à la surface [...]. Le terme réintégration (dans le gisement) serait semble-t-il plus approprié.  1, record 6, French, - injection
