Process details
CO2 injection, water injection and gas lift in the oil & gas industry
Enhanced oil recovery
The natural pressure in an oil field decreases over time, as oil is extracted. To maintain an efficient oil production rate for such a reservoir, pressure can be increased by well water injection (also called water-flooding) – which can re-circulate produced water recovered from the oil-water separators. Artificial lift techniques can also be applied, using gas lift to assist the flow of oil up the well bore tube, or CO2 injection into the reservoir, which helps reduce the oil viscosity and help oil flow.
