Water Injection System

Introduction

Water injection has proved to be one of the most economical methods for reservoir pressure management. The technology can be valuable in helping maintain reservoir pressure, enhancing the production of hydrocarbon reserves, and reducing the environmental impact through reinjection of treated and filtered produced water. One of the most efficient methods of enhancing heavy oil recovery is water injection. In heavy oil recovery, Halliburton's temporary water injection systems provide operators with a cost-effective means of quickly analyzing the potential benefits of using water injection to manage a specific reservoir and enhance overall productivity. The course will highly discuss on how to treat the water on the platform. Where the water is injected into the oilfield, it helps increase pressure and thereby production/recovery of more oil. Produced water handling on the surface by proper disposal or by conditioning the water and re-injecting it to increase oil recovery from an existing reservoir.

Objectives

    By the end of this course delegates will be:

    • How to treat the water on the platform
    • Produced water handling on the surface by proper disposal or by conditioning the water and reinjecting it to increase oil recovery from an existing reservoir
    • Enhancing the Oil Recovery Process
    • Understanding Water Treatment Process
    • Determine the Injection Water Recourses
    • Know Biological Water Treatment
    • Know the principle of Corrosion for Water Treatment
    • Understanding the operation process of Water Injection

Training Methodology

This is an interactive course. There will be open question and answer sessions, regular group exercises and activities, videos, case studies, and presentations on best practice. Participants will have the opportunity to share with the facilitator and other participants on what works well and not so well for them, as well as work on issues from their own organizations. The online course is conducted online using MS-Teams/ClickMeeting.

Who Should Attend?

This course is intended for junior operating staff involved in the field operation of water treatment facilities, including development and operations petroleum and production engineers and other technical staff.
