Sometimes it is injected back at the edges of the same producing reservoir for enhanced oil recovery. That sweeps more fluid from the edges to the producing well, carrying with the water more oil.

And that is an excellent use of the water as there is no net gain in reservoir fluids.

Maybe the solution is more injection wells spaced out. This started happening with an uptick in disposal volume. At the volumes being injected now, there clearly is an effect.
