    • classroom1Classroom
      • Average client rating (based on 8 attendee reviews)

    This course covers the entire oilfield water cycle with emphasis on the subsurface aspects, including

    • Producer performance with water
    • Injector performance
    • Water sweep in the reservoir
    • A review of surface treatement of produced water and water for injection or disposal

    Fundamental concepts are introduced so that participants are able to analyze water aspects of field performance and select suitable solutions.
    Presentations are made in a very interactive style where participants are encouraged to think about the issues and contribute with their own experience. Participants are encouraged to bring their own water challenges for discussion in class.  A field case history of the ‘Aquarius’ field is used throughout the course so that participants gain experience of hands-on analysis and design in all aspects of the water cycle.
