Oil production from a reservoir will naturally decrease or even not be able to produce at all. This condition does not necessarily indicate that the oil reserves in the reservoir have run out. If we only rely on primary production methods (primary recovery), it is likely that there is still a lot of oil left in the reservoir, so advanced production methods are needed to be able to drain the oil that is still left in the reservoir. Advanced oil recovery technology or Enhanced Oil Recovery (EOR) continues to develop to overcome the challenges in increasing oil production from reservoirs that have entered the secondary or tertiary production stage. One method that has attracted attention is Miscible Gas Flooding (MGF), which involves injecting certain gases into the reservoir. This method allows the creation of perfect mixing conditions (miscible) between the injected gas and the oil in the reservoir, thereby increasing the efficiency of oil transfer and maximizing recovery results. This technology is a solution to maximize the potential of oil wells that have experienced decreased productivity. The main principle of Miscible Gas Flooding is to reduce the interfacial tension between oil and gas, and reduce the viscosity of the oil, so that the oil can flow more easily to the production well. Commonly used gases include carbon dioxide (CO₂), nitrogen (N₂), or light hydrocarbons such as methane and ethane. With the right pressure and temperature, these gases can mix homogeneously with oil, resulting in higher displacement efficiency compared to water or immiscible gas injection methods. These advantages make MGF one of the most effective approaches to increase oil well productivity in complex reservoirs. Although promising, the implementation of Miscible Gas Flooding requires careful planning and a comprehensive evaluation of reservoir conditions. Factors such as the minimum pressure to achieve miscibility, the type of gas used, and potential disturbances such as fingering or channeling must be carefully considered. In addition, operational costs and the infrastructure required are also aspects that need to be taken into account.

The Markov Chain-based linguistic steganography algorithm can effectively hide information within human-like cover text, but it is highly limited in processing speed. A traditional implementation relying on Huffman tree-based encoding mainly suffers from slow processing due to the computational overhead of building the tree itself. To address this issue, this study proposes an enhanced algorithm using binary indexing for constant time complexity. The results were experimentally calculated using models of varying state sizes derived from the same text corpus as a control variable. Perplexity analysis was also employed to evaluate imperceptibility and ensure there were no drawbacks to the cover media’s integrity. The results indicate that the enhanced algorithm improves processing speed by up to 54 times across all state sizes without compromising imperceptibility. This establishes that the enhancements yielded a significantly faster processing speed for the existing algorithm while remaining secure in its concealment.  In practice, the algorithm was applied in legal document storage to strengthen its security.
