Dr Trice Spice - isn't that the name of one of those legal highs?
IT will be bottled as scottish spring water make a mint . It will be name dr trice spice
"Hurricane are shopping around for a someone to take and dispose of 100,000 barrels per annum of produced water from the FPSO."
This has got to be one of the funniest things I've ever read on this BB.
Endless talk of water water everywhere day in day out doesn’t do the share price much good.
If Hur is to risky for you sell up and take your losses and put what you have left into something less risky.
Or let’s see what the big man says.
Producing plenty of the slimy stuff and therefore plenty of greenbacks I think I will stick around for a while yet.
Cebo,
Perhaps you can give me your expert interpretation of the attached then please?
Shut-in and choke-back analysis of the fluctuating Water Oil Ratio (WOR)data can provide clues to the problem type. Water-entry problems such as coning or a single fracture intersecting a deeper water layer will lead to a lower WOR during choke-back or shut-in. Fractures or a fault intersecting an overlying water layer have the opposite effect." https://petrowiki.org/Controlling_excess_water_production
Buzz : I don't normally post much either unless someone is talking out of their arse!
Read my post from around a week ago, regarding what happens with produced water,(on offshore installations) I should know I've been doing this job for long enough.
Nothing has changed since Dr T said before Christmas that one well is producing with minimal water cut, then both wells will be flowed together.
You and the other newly created day trippers could easily clear off as there is no new news here.
Rant over.

All the best Buzby, if you are in a meeting and your hear of Yankee-Candle farming-in for Hurricane's 1.25kg of wax that they are producing annually, then please let us know. Otherwise look forward to hearing some more gems of information around Jan 2026, or maybe seeing you in a rerun of the BT adverts.
Cebo-456,
Don't worry, I don't plan on posting here often as I don't normally have much to say.
I thought this info might have been of interest to you all and it is a fact that it was discussed briefly in passing in a meeting I was in. I thought it pointed to the produced water being low which I saw as a good thing that would cheer everyone up! However, as pointed out here the FPSO should be more than capable of processing that volume of water so maybe it is just an interim measure until the systems on board are up and running.
I'll maybe chip in again in another 5 years :)
Hi Pecten11,
"Buzz, does it specify over what time period the 100000 barrels of water disposal is required? I.e. actually over 12 months, or is it an annualised figure but actually over a shorter time period?
Why, cos maybe it is tl run the 7a hard to drain the perched water"
Sorry I don't know the answer, all that was mentioned was 100,000 barrels per annum. Could be a one off I'm not sure.
Another day chatting about water? Ok
So oil is about say 50 million years old or older. The water, assume perched, has been trapped for the same period, contained, unable to escape or be added to. The seas/oceans get saltier over time. Why cannot this debate be put to bed by comparing salinity of the trapped water with the salinity of the surrounding water.

Sorry put this on the BuzzB thread but probable better here
"I wonder if that's the excess that the FPSO is unable to accommodate. Any ideas how much water the kit should be able to clean and dispose?"
From a design point of view I would expect the produced water system to handle whatever the 'process' is expected to produce within the design parameters given at the start of design (I know this doesn't answer the question!). Got me thinking though whether this is part of the debottlenecking process ie increasing process throughput gives more produced water than the produce water system is designed for.
The other thought I had was that it may be part of the environmental impact statement. ie HUR have stated that they will dump x amount overboard but for whatever reason with produce more produced water so need to tanker it away
Sorry 7z. Doh
Cebo I think were on the same page......forgive my previous diplomatic response, I think I was saying the same thing as you without using profanities and trying to cause offence.
Buzz, does it specify over what time period the 100000 barrels of water disposal is required? I.e. actually over 12 months, or is it an annualised figure but actually over a shorter time period?

Hanginginthere, it's not strage at all - and the reason it's not strage is because it is total and utter Bu!!sh't.
That should read - I hope Mrs RT is not. :-)
Aqua, your understanding is incorrect, perched (trapped water will not "build up".
I have Mrs RT is notreading some of those posts to her hubby, otherwise he will spend most of his time rolling around the floor laughing rather than doing CEO type stuff. FFS
Hi Cebo, it doesn't seem strange that the AM can handle this volume of produced water, what is strange is that HUR would be looking for someone to take and dispose of 100,000 barrels of produced water when they have processing capacity for much more than this and offload overboard. I guess MCB55 could be on the money that its not fully commissioned yet?
AS01 - 'My understanding is that perched water will build up following a shut-in'
Where is it meant to build up from? By definition it is stranded I.e. not linked to a reservoir
Hanging in there, why does that seem strange. Most FPSO have that sort of capability - the Enquest producer that someone mentioned this morning can process 60k barrels of Crude and 100k barrels of water. The Glen Lyon twice that amount of both.
Unless it's to do with initial amounts when the 7z well is flowed after an extended shut-in. My understanding is that perched water will build up following a shut-in as opposed to aquifer water which reduces.
Buzby, I will ask around and see if there are any takers. Have you any idea how much per Ltr or Barrel Hurricane are asking for this water. I also asume that that this water must contain some sort of age reversing properties or a miracle cure which is why RT has decided to market it instead of putting it overboard like everyone else does.
I also suggest that we keep this info quiet, because Bernard Looney has two FPSOs in the area that each produce more than that amount (100k barrels) of water every single day - and if he starts selling it as well then the market may become flooded.
Buzby, it seem a shame that someone like yourself has taken 5 years to contribute to this board. I for one wouldn't be disappointed if you post more frequently in future- every couple of years would be fine.
Depends on whether the water treatment plant is fully commissioned yet!
Sounds peculiar as the Am can handle 55,000 barrels of produced water per day? which is a higher rate than the wells can flow. Unless I am being naïve?

“Hurricane are shopping around for a someone to take and dispose of 100,000 barrels per annum of produced water from the FPSO.”
You don’t need to dispose of it you just use a graphene filter to take out 99.9% of the impurities and put the water back in the sea.
