Water injection and the transport of produced fluids are some of the main energy consumers in offshore production. Researchers at SINTEF point to the need for a balanced approach to optimizing energy efficiency.The handling of produced fluids, a mixture of oil, water, and gas, is essentially a huge waste of energy.Water production is primarily caused by channeling and uneven drainage along the wellbore resulting from mobility contrasts within the reservoir…
