Abstract
A method for enhanced or improved oil recovery includes injecting a miscible injection fluid comprising an unfractionated hydrocarbon mixture through an injection well into a hydrocarbon bearing formation. Simultaneously and/or subsequently, a mobility control fluid is injected into the hydrocarbon bearing formation. Residual hydrocarbons in the hydrocarbon bearing formation are mobilized and displaced by the miscible injection fluid and/or the mobility control fluid to a production well through which they are produced to the surface.
