Additional information

Installation of plant to supply desulphated seawater for injection into oil reservoirs costs tens of millions of dollars (DOI:10.2118/87459-PA). This industry expert collaboration is used by companies to evaluate such scale management options. For example, it was used by Chevron to conclude that instead of disposing of brine from a West Africa deepwater reservoir to sea, with the concomitant environmental impact, they could commingle the produced brine with injected seawater - and the risk of mineral scale damage in the injection lines and wells could be controlled chemically, and so without recourse to desulphation of the seawater (DOI:10.2118/132346-PA).
