The main purpose for BJ providing the temporary injection package was due to
the delays the client was experiencing during the construction of their permanent
injection facility. This delay was causing problems with production and the
decision was made to install a temporary injection package.
The initial injection parameters were, 40,000 bbl / day @ 1,500 psi for a period of
six (6) months. The contract also included the supply of all injection chemicals,
these were provided by BJ Chemical Services, Houston.
Prior to commencing injection, the pipeline loop had to cleaned to remove all
rust, scale and debris.
Following the initial injection phase the client installed flow lines to two additional
injection wells. As these lines could not be cleaned online, BJ were ask to
provide additional high pressure filtration skids to remove any debris, rust and
scale from the new injection pipe-work.
The injection parameters were then changed to approximately 50,000 bbl / day at
2,000 psi. Maximum injection rate achieved during operations was 56,000 bbl /
day at 2,000 psi
After the initial six months, the client requested an extension to the contract as
further delays in the completion of their permanent facilities had been confirmed.
BJ continued the injection operations for a total period of eighteen months until
the clients permanent facilities had been commissioned.
