This paper discusses the possibility of utilization of exhaust (flue) gases by injecting them into the reservoir. Currently, injection of flue gases into the reservoir is not a widely used method for increasing oil production compared to CO 2 or N 2 injection. Most of technologies for injecting water-gas mixture using flue gas as a gas provide for water-alternating-gas injection. Only a few studies discuss simultaneous water-alternating-gas injection using flue gases. Moreover, there are few studies on creating a mixture of water and exhaust gases for co-injection by means of pump-ejecting systems into the reservoir. Therefore, in this work we propose a new improved diagram of the laboratory bench using exhaust (flue) gases to create a water and gas mixture for flue gas-simultaneous water and gas injection by means of pump-ejecting system.
