ABSTRACT:
A method for increasing the recovery of oil from a subterranean formation having at least one producer wellbore drilled therein, whereby a generally horizontal and generally circular wellbore is drilled so that oil is located between the generally horizontal and generally circular wellbore and the at least one producer wellbore. Fluid is injected through the generally horizontal and generally circular wellbore into the formation so that oil is swept to the at least one producer wellbore for recovery through the at least one producer wellbore.
