Sour gas reservoirs have faced critics for environmental concerns and hazards, necessitating a novel outlook to how the produced sour gases could be either utilized or carefully disposed. Over the years of research and practice, several methods of sour gas processing and utilization have been developed, from the solid storage of sulfur to reinjecting the sour gas into producing or depleted light oil reservoir for miscible flooding enhanced oil recovery. This paper seeks to investigate the impact of injection parameters on the performance of sour gas injection for enhance oil recovery. In designing a miscible gas flooding project, empirical correlations are used and the key parameter which impacts the phase behavior is identified to be the minimum miscibility pressure (MMP). A compositional simulator was utilized in this research work to study the effect of injection parameters such as minimum miscibility pressure, acid gas concentration, injection pressure and injection rate on the performance of miscible sour gas injection for enhanced oil recovery. The findings showed that methane concentration had a significant impact on the MMP of the process. Additionally, an increase in acid gas concentration decreases the MMP of the process as a result of an increase in gas viscosity, consequently extending the plateau period resulting in late gas breakthrough and increased overall recovery of the process.
