Abstract

Methods and systems for producing oil from a subsurface reservoir include drilling a horizontal production well into the subsurface reservoir and drilling a horizontal injection well into the subsurface reservoir below the horizontal production well. Carbon dioxide and a second gas are mixed to form a gas mixture with a density more than a density of reservoir fluids between the horizontal production well and the horizontal injection well. The gas mixture is injected into the subsurface formation through the horizontal injection well and fluid is produced from the subsurface reservoir through the horizontal production well.
