Comprehensive System for Treatment and Injection of Produced Water: Field Case
I. Mantilla, SPE, and P.Quintero, Empresa Colombiana de Petrleos, Ecopetrol.
Abstract
This work describes a comprehensive system that was
designed, built and commissioned in Yarigui-Cantagallo field
(Colombia) for treating and re-injecting produced water.
The facility mainly consists of one plate-pack separator,
one induced-gas flotation cell, one nutshell filter and highpressure pumps. Field data including water quality analysis in
all stages of treatment are shown as well as calculated
efficiencies for the equipment.
This system is adequate to obtain high quality water for reinjection in very tight formations.
Introduction
Operation of mature oil fields causes a very strong impact
upon the environment. This is very often the case in
Colombia. State-owned company, Ecopetrol, faces the
challenge of repairing the effects on the ecosystem by long
time operations.
Yarigui-Cantagallo field is located in the Middle
Magdalena Basin. It extents for an area of 2965 acres over
Bolivar, Antioquia and Santander Departments. The field is
divided in two by the Magdalena River. It has been in
operation since 1943 by several companies including Socony
Vacuum, Shell and Ecopetrol (since 1973). It reached a peak
production of 17000 bbl/D in 1964. Current production is
5100 bbl/D of 20 API oil with a GOR of 500 and 2500 bbl/D
of water.
Production coming from 58 beam pumped wells goes to
Dehydration Plant located at Isla 6. Oil treatment consists of
chemical injection, heating and gravity separation in tanks.
900 bbl/D of fresh water are added to lower salt content in
crude oil. Water treatment consisted of retention time given by
API separators and aerobic lagoons prior to its discharge to
