injected back/ reinjected

My comment:

A well where gas or water is injected back into the reservoir usually to increase pressure and thereby stimulate production. In a gas injection well- gas is reinjected into the upper gas portion of the reservoir.. Water injection wells are typically found offshore.

My comment:

if the process refers to 'pumping gas back into the well as to increase the pressure of the oil below', then why not refer to it as a mechanical process, instead of using an unfamiliar technical term?

While 'reinjected' is a literally correct translation, I agree that the sense here is better expressed with 'pumped back', i.e., the original wording is flawed, at least for translation purposes.
