CNOOC Iraq Limited operates three oil fields in Missan Province in Iraq. They are all large onshore oilfields located 350 kilometers southeast of Baghdad. In order to support reservoir pressure, plans are underway to implement a water injection scheme. The injection water comes from three different sources; produced water, aquifer water as well as river / agricultural water. Considering the nature and varying chemistry of the source water, particular attention had to be given to selecting the material for the water injection wells. This paper describes the approach adopted in selecting the materials for Missan fields’ water injection system.
