I personally don't know the status and capacity of the produced water treatment system. I think that right now they are still finalising the full commissioning of the system.
Water is separated out in the main oil Separation system and this water is then further treated before disposal overboard (if it meets the strict discharge criteria) or back loaded.
My belief is that is why Hur are mainly, but not exclusively, producing from the dry well!
I expect the water treatment system should be fully commissioned shortly.
If the water averages 8% then that's approx. 40,000 barrels of water in every load of oil.
What happens to it ?
Is it off-loaded to a tanker to be processed onshore or is it dumped into the sea after a cleanup ?
Perched/stranded water is just that, random pockets of trapped water scattered throughout the fractured matrix. Some pockets will be larger than others and as the the oil and water is syphoned off the percentage split will vary with time on both Wells as near water pockets are depleted and new ones further away are forced into the well bores. Some areas will extracted will be more oil rich than others, i. e. fewer pockets of water. What will always be uncertain is the overall percentage split of oil/water at any one time, so the overall estimated 5 to 10 % water cut will only be confirmed when a lot more oil has been extracted. I believe it has been stated somewhere that the perched water has a different fingerprint to that of the water below oil contact, and if so this should be conclusive, as Dr T appears to be saying. This is how I see it from what I have read/digested. However, I am no expert and the above is just my opinion, from a common sense perspective. Please correct me if any of the above is a load of codswallop. ATB
That's an easy one. Although BP have bought the 3 million barrels, they haven't opened the barrels to see what they contain. Hmmmmmm.....
Perhaps the first 2 barrels were full of Light Sweet Crude, which they opened and showed to BP, and the rest are full of H2O - Hmmmmmmm.
I’m no expert and I get we are still at testing phase to a degree. But if water is such an issue how have we managed to sell 3 million barrels for north of £150 million? I’m very. encouraged. Just need SP to start reflecting our true value! Good start yesterday!
