Produced water reinjection: Experiences from performance measurements on Ula in the North Sea
- and others
BP Norge Ltd. was the first North Sea operator that with a minimum of capital investments attempted to eliminate produced water discharges through the reinjection of mixed produced water and seawater. A full scale produced water reinjection (PWRI) trial started the first quarter of 1995. Performance measurements have included the use of models and documentation of the effects with respect to preventing loss of injectivity, corrosion, scaling, as well as reservoir souring, which have been experienced in previously reported PWRI trials. This paper includes results from the first year of reinjection. It will hopefully promote the industry to consider PWRI as a viable alternative which should be closer evaluated and to provide a foundation for optimizing water handling facilities in the future.
