Water-gas influence (WGI) is an oil recovery method improving displacement ratio, sweep efficiency and adjusting the alignment of displacement. This study is a review of the traditional WAG methods (Immiscible WAG, Hybrid WAG, Simultaneous WAG and Selective Simultaneous WAG), including with stabilizing surfactants, WAG. We also consider such sparsely used methods as: SSWAG, FAWAG, CWAG, TWAG, VR-WAG, Up- and Down-dip WAG, HC-WAG, PAG, SAG, WASP, LSW WAG, LSASF, SMSW-AGF and others. The advantages and disadvantages of these tools are considered. Keywords: water-gas influence (WGI); WAG; SWAG; enhanced oil recovery; APG utilization.
