UTWID 5.0 for Injection Water Management

Description

Injection water management is a critical component to offshore well operation.

UTWID allows the user to address: How clean is clean? What filtration specs should I use? Can I inject raw seawater? How much oil in produced water will my injection well tolerate? How fast is a fracture growing? How often will the injection well require remedial treatment to regain injectivity? What is the right balance between injection water treatment costs and injection well stimulation costs? Should I fracture the injection wells?

Benefits

Reduced risk and optimal operation of water injection wells.
