... quality is one of the primary factors to consider for effective injection. This is even more crucial in case of dumpflooding, wherein water is sourced from sub-surface. Due to the wide extent of the field and possible diagenesis effect there could be regional variations in water quality. Due diligence...

... Abstract In this paper we will discuss the factors that influence the strategy for produced water treatment and disposal. Various aspects of the produced water treatment plant will have an impact on the water quality achieved, for example operational parameters such as interface levels...

... permeability reduction, filtration of impurities in the polymer solution, fluid incompatibilities or reduced water quality. In this paper we will discuss the various causes for loss of injectivity and propose a structured approach for the associated prevention and mitigation options. Prevention includes (1...

... and corresponding water quality is one of the overarching themes in a waterflood project. It requires an integrated multi-disciplinary approach to conclude on an optimum design and strategy. Some of the issues that need to be addressed in the first place are: – matrix of fractured regime – injectivity...
