Gases mix with one another in all proportions. This may or may not be true of liquids, whose miscibility properties depend on their chemical nature. ... Liquids that do not mix at all are said to be immiscible, as oil and water.

Les gisements profonds sont généralement à pression élevée (300 atm ou plus) et contiennent une huile assez riche en hydrocarbures de poids moléculaire intermédiaire (éthane, propane, butane, etc.). Lorsqu'on injecte du gaz dans un tel gisement, les hydrocarbures de poids moléculaire intermédiaire initialement contenus dans l'huile, passent en partie dans la phase gazeuse. Celle-ci s'enrichit et, dans certaines conditions, forme une zone dont la composition varie de façon continue de celle de l'huile (vers l'aval) à celle du gaz injecté (vers l'amont). Ce type de déplacement dépend assez peu de la nature du gaz injecté, qui peut être du méthane pur, ou même de l'azote. Il est appelé [...] «miscibilité avant» (car c'est à l'avant du front de déplacement que se forme la zone miscible) [...] 1, record 9, French, - miscibilit%C3%A9%20avant

Un gaz contenant du méthane et une notable proportion d'hydrocarbures de poids moléculaire intermédiaire (éthane, propane, butane) n'est pas en général miscible avec l'huile dans les conditions du gisement. Le déplacement par un tel gaz laisse donc une certaine proportion d'huile piégée. Mais les hydrocarbures autres que le méthane contenus dans le gaz, ont alors tendance à se dissoudre dans cette huile résiduelle, modifiant sa composition et augmentant son volume. Le gaz continuant à apporter des produits condensables, il se forme ainsi, dans certains cas, un banc d'huile enrichie en hydrocarbures de poids moléculaire intermédiaire, dont la composition varie [...] de l'huile vierge à celle du gaz injecté. Ce type de déplacement est appelé [...] «miscibilité arrière» (parce que le bouchon miscible se forme en arrière du front de déplacement, dans la zone d'huile résiduelle) [...] 1, record 12, French, - miscibilit%C3%A9%20arri%C3%A8re
