The buoy can be configured for a number of different well injection purposes.
- Water injection by either conventional or raw-water injection methods, for reservoir pressure maintenance and water flooding oil reservoirs.
- Gas injection for reservoir pressure maintenance and storage for future production.
- Chemical injection for scale, hydrate and any other process fluid modification.
- Criteria for field identification:
- Fields that require water, gas or chemical injection for their production.
- Fields in remote locations (no existing infrastructure or long distance from existing infrastructure).
- Fields located in a small distance from existing infrastructure but where it is not technically or economically feasible to provide a water, gas or chemical injection process.
