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 reservoir at a structurally higher position to initiate gravity-stable displacement and gas cap expansion processes. Residual hydrocarbons in the hydrocarbon bearing reservoir are mobilized and displaced by the miscible injection fluid to a structurally lower position within the hydrocarbon bearing reservoir adjacent a production well through which they are produced to the surface.
