Water Injection System Design & Selection
The design of water injection systems is a key aspect of optimizing the economic return of any development. This is particularly true of systems that are placed on floating production systems, where weight, space and power requirements may be limited.
Water Injection Design
Viking provides expert advice to many deepwater assets regarding the layout of their water injection systems, including aspects such as the feasibility of commingled seawater and produced water injection, options for seawater lift, filtration technologies, sulfate removal, low salinity seawater injection, oxygen removal, process arrangement and injection pump selection.
Such considerations are based around the physical constraints of each project, the relationship between capital and operational expenditure for each option, and the overall system reliability and field economics for the development.

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.
