Water Treatment & Injection in Oil & Gas Production (Production Field Water Management)
Course Description:
Water management remains a key part of operational processes in hydrocarbon production. It is established that water injection and disposal of produced water constitutes problems both in terms of volume produced, volume required for injection and disposal methods.
Similarly, the environmental implications of produced water as well as the technical implications of producing water more than required or expected from a field could result in significant field problem with economic implications too.
The course considers detailed water treatment techniques after due attention has been placed on the sources & “Fouling” in the production systems.
This program has always been popular as more operators strive to produce their reservoirs to the last available barrel given the current prices of oil. Hence there is an enormous amount of water being pumped that require adequacy in water management techniques.
This course therefore addresses such issues in a class room setting, in terms of the engineering, technical and economic aspects.
