Water Injection

The aim of this course is to provide the participants with a complete and in-depth overview of the area of production and injection water treatment. Upon the completion of this course, the participants should have a solid grounding in the understanding of the purpose, operation and inspection of water injection systems for enhanced recovery. The course will illustrate potential problems and their resolution.

Course Objectives

Upon successful completion of this course, the delegates will be able to:

• Apply and gain an in-depth knowledge on injection water treatment
• Discuss the preamble and injectivity  of enhanced oil recovery
• Recognize water injection systems covering water source, basic water treatment, filter and deaeration
• Manage waste corrosion, buried and subsea pipelines and microbiological growth and corrosion
• Determine tests used to evaluate water quality
• Identify water treatment chemicals used in water injection systems
• Perform inspection of facilities as well as pigging and cleaning pipelines

Who Should Attend?

This course provides a complete and up-to-date overview of injection water treatment for all engineers and technical staff whose responsibilities include the safe and cost effective of water injection systems. Management will also benefit by increasing their awareness of the cost effective use of treatment chemicals and by developing their skills in analysis of water quality data. Further, this course is suitable for corrosion personnel, W.I. personnel, lab personnel, chemists and chemical engineers.
