reinjection
Putting back in
Reinjection is the act of injecting something again, whether literally or figuratively.
In medicine, it may mean administering another dose of a drug or reintroducing extracted blood or tissue.
In oil and gas operations, reinjection returns fluids like wastewater or carbon dioxide underground: The facility uses reinjection wells for produced water.
The term appears whenever something previously removed is put back in.
