Provide participants the different types of water treatment methods, for water injection systems either by produced water or seawater as found in today’s oil and gas industry.
Participants will be provided with the knowledge to enhance their understanding of these reservoirs as well as the process of how seawater may be pumped into the reservoir to maintain pressure and help the oil and gas to flow from the reservoir to a production platform or facility.
Participants will gain knowledge of the water treatment systems and injection pumps that have been installed on the processing decks of these offshore platforms to send filtered and sterilized seawater into the reservoirs.
Participants will learn the preferred source of injection water in an offshore environment is seawater and that drilling a new well is very expensive.
The course provides knowledge necessary to gain and enhance their aptitude in the area of water for injection and how it has to be of a very high quality to avoid plugging and scaling of the injection equipment.
The course provides information on souring which can occur when water containing oxygen and bacteria is injected and can reduce the produced hydrocarbons’ value.
