Method of controlling salinity of a low salinity injection water

A method includes producing a first blended low salinity injection water for injection into at least one injection well that penetrates a first region of an oil-bearing reservoir and producing a second blended low salinity injection water for injection into at least one injection well that penetrates a second region of an oil-bearing reservoir. The reservoir rock of the first and second regions has first and second rock compositions, respectively, that present different risks of formation damage. The first and second blended low salinity injection waters comprise variable amounts of nanofiltration permeate and reverse osmosis permeate. The compositions of the first and second blended low salinity injection waters are maintained within first and second predetermined operating envelopes, respectively, that balance improving enhanced oil recovery from the first and second regions while reducing formation damage upon injecting the first and second blended low salinity injection waters into the oil-bearing reservoir.

11655413 · 2023-05-23 · ·

According to one or more embodiments, sulfate ions may be removed from seawater to form an injection fluid by a method including passing the seawater and formation water to a mixing tank. The seawater may comprise sulfate ions. The formation water may comprise barium ions. The seawater and formation water may be passed to the mixing tank in a ratio determined by a computerized geochemical model. The method may further include mixing the seawater and formation water to form a mixed fluid and passing the mixed fluid to a clarifier, where a barium sulfate precipitate may be formed and at least a portion of the barium sulfate precipitate may be separated from the mixed fluid. The method may further include passing the mixed fluid to a microfiltration system, where at least a portion of the barium sulfate precipitate may be removed from the mixed fluid to form an injection fluid.

METHODS AND SYSTEMS FOR TREATING BIOLOGICAL CONTAMINANTS

Unwanted material in water, such as Legionella and scale, may be treated using a combination of technologies. Components of each technology may be controlled using a databus, such as an Internet-of-things (IoT) databus. An additional advantage of the treatment technologies is an increase in the efficiency of heat transfer components, such as cooling towers, and a related reduction in carbon footprint.
