At GATE Energy, we have the technical knowledge and experience to apply our own approach to souring prediction which can enable design and operational decisions to be made to mitigate the risks associated with such H2S production.

Seawater injection is a vital tool for the economic success of some projects and those projects need to ensure that the seawater can be effectively delivered from the seawater source to the reservoir.

This GATEKEEPER provides an overview of the decisions which are the truly important outcomes from this process, and outlines the risks we incur by setting our scale management and associated field design philosophies early in the life of a project.

The difficulty in selecting the materials of construction for the topsides portion of seawater injection systems is associated with uncertainty around the reliability and performance of their associated oxygen removal systems.

This paper presents the process followed and findings generated by a comprehensive review of a mature water injection project performed with the goal of delivering a coordinated operating strategy that would maximize the life of field revenues associated with water injection.

Sulfate removal units (SRU) are able to reduce the sulfate content of injected seawater by filtering the water prior to introduction downhole. There are many benefits in terms of both flow assurance and economics to be gained from sulfate removal

Water injection is often an integral part of the field development plan adopted for subsea developments, where projects may not be economically viable in its absence.

Water flood is a major secondary recovery option for maximizing field production and ultimate oil recovery. Scaling however, is a problematic issue, hindering secondary recovery by forming blockages that can plug vital waterflood components.
