A plan for modernizing and expanding existing water- injection facilities for the Bahia fields is planned by Petrobras, the Brazilian oil monoply. The plan contemplates continued use of most of the original equipment. The plan will be expanded wih a pilot plant treatment of the Don Juan field brine, and the injection plant. The following engineering works will be started: (1) a pumping station which takes 110,000 bpd of water from the sea, (2) a water pipe line 80 k long; (3) a system for the collection of oil field brine; (4) 3 combination water treating plants; (5) 3 high pressure injection pump stations; (6) a system for the distribution of the injection water; and (7) a pilot plant for treating well water. For water injection, it will be possible to use individually, seawater, well water, and brine produced with the oil.
