Innovative Siemens water treatment, re-injection solution for enhanced oil recovery
08.06.2011 + + + Siemens Energy has developed an integrated solution for the treatment of water before it is pumped back into an oil reservoir to enhance oil recovery (EOR). The modular solution is based on standardized components and cleans the water after gas/oil/water separation more efficiently and cost-effectively than traditional systems. Significantly reduced engineering times ensure fast field deployment. A solution tailored to specific process requirements can be delivered within 18 months.
Siemens has developed a complete modular water treatment solution, covering process steps such as hydro-cyclones, flotation and filtration as well as electrification, instrumentation and automation based on proven Siemens standard components. This solution can be tailored to the requirements of the water to be injected and is modularized in intervals of 20,000 barrels per day which enables incremental extension – and stepwise decommissioning – over the entire lifecycle of an oil field, thereby permitting optimization of customer investment (CAPEX) and operating costs (OPEX). Heavy-load transporters are not required for shipping, which is advantageous in hard-to-access terrain.
"Against the backdrop of increasing global demand for oil and depletion in many existing fields the enhanced oil recovery market will continue to grow in the future," said Tom Blades, CEO of the Siemens Oil and Gas Division. "The new Siemens solution uses components with a proven track record in the oil and gas industry. Our customers get an efficient, cost-effective and eco-friendly all-round package from a single source, in which all components are optimally matched."
Enhanced oil recovery (EOR) is being deployed in increasing amounts as reservoirs age. The change in the extraction rates and water fraction of the well over its lifetime requires adaptation of the water processing capacity to ensure that quality is maintained in the reinjected water. A modular solution enables this to be provided in a way that optimizes the cost and performance.
