Description

FOREWORD

The underground injection of water, whether into waterfloods or
disposal systems, is an integral portion of the cost of producing oil.
The magnitude of this cost has increased because more water is being
produced as:

? More reservoirs are nearing completion.

? Wells are being produced to higher water-cut due to the demand
for oil.

? Many older waterfloods are being expanded and new ones started
in order to recover once marginal reserves.

The expense of injecting larger volumes of produced water is further
compounded by the rapid rise in the cost of energy needed to inject
this water and the increasingly higher costs of measures needed to
protect the environment.

The objective of this manual is to provide information for field
operating personnel on the systems, methods and practices to most
economically operate an underground injection program while
maintaining the schedules and volumes required.

The manual is written to help the overseer of the system solve many of
the problems associated with underground water injection. Its intent
is to provide the reader with information regarding the following:

a. Suitable design of the injection system including wells, lines and
surface facilities.

b. Regulations and other restrictions related to subsurface water
injection.

c. Measures to be taken to protect life, property and the public
interest.

d. Factors which affect injection cost.

The material in this manual is of a basic, cursory, and introductory
nature. The reader should consult technical experts for more detailed
information on specific items of interest.
