Abstract

This invention is method of recovering gas from a gas-bearing subterranean formation (11) in which gas is produced from an upper portion of the formation (11) and a waste gas is injected into a lower portion of the formation (11) to dispose. The waste gas is injected within a 3000 ft (914 m) radial distance from the production of the gas. The injection and production can be carried out using one well or a plurality of wells.
