The PR-10 hydrocyclonic removeris designed and patented construction and installation for removing those extremely fine solid particles, which density is heavier than the liquid, from any liquid or mixture with gas. For example, produced water, sea-water, etc. The flow enters from the top of vessel and then into the “candle”, which is consisted of varies number of discs in which the PR-10 cyclonic element are installed. The stream with solids are then flows into the PR-10 and the solid particles is separated from the stream. The separated clean liquid is rejected into the up vessel chamber and routed into the outlet nozzle, while the solid particles are dropped into the lower solids chamber for accumulating, located in the bottom for disposal in batch operation via the sand withdraw device (SWD TM series).
Some components and techniques are used in the process of oil and gas operations. These components include wellhead equipment、desander、cyclone separator、hydrocyclone、CFU and IGF. Meanwhile, techniques named water injection and fluid field analysis are used in the process of oil and gas operations. While PR-10 product is unique for removing the very fine particles (eg. 2 microns) and meet the requirement for water injection. The desanding cyclone with PR-10 installed can be used especially for removing the particles in the produced water and reinjected into the reservoir without adding other chemicals, example of Oxygen scavenger, De-former, Sludge breaker, Bactericide, etc. The reason of directly reinjection is because the produced water coming from separator will be going deoiling facility (eg. Hydrocyclone, or CFU) and the PR-10 Cyclonic Remover , the processing is done within the closed system in positive pressure, without oxygen penetration. In other advantage, the reinjection would not have the problem of Compatibility.
In der komplexen Welt der Ölextraktion ist die Aufrechterhaltung des Reservoirdrucks von größter Bedeutung, um die Produktionsniveaus aufrechtzuerhalten und die Rückgewinnung zu optimieren. Mit dem Alter der Ölfelder sinkt der natürliche Druck, was die Fähigkeit zur effizienten Extraktion von Kohlenwasserstoffen verringert. Um dem entgegenzuwirken, wurden verbesserte Ölgewinnungstechniken (EOR) wie die Wasserinjektion weit verbreitet eingesetzt. Die Wasserinjektion spielt eine entscheidende Rolle bei der Verlängerung der produktiven Lebensdauer eines Ölfeldes und stellt sicher, dass maximale Reserven zurückgewonnen werden, während die wirtschaftliche Rentabilität aufrechterhalten wird.
Understanding Water Injection: A Key Technique in Oil Recovery
Water injection is a secondary recovery technique designed to maintain reservoir pressure and enhance oil displacement. By injecting water into the reservoir, operators can push oil toward production wells, increasing the recovery factor beyond what natural pressure alone can achieve. This method has been utilized for decades and remains one of the most cost-effective strategies for maximizing oil extraction.
Ngani Ukufaka Amanzi Kubalulekile Ekukhuleni Kokukhiqiza Uwoyela
Oil reservoirs do not produce indefinitely at optimal rates. Over time, reservoir energy diminishes, leading to declining production levels. Water injection mitigates this decline by replenishing reservoir pressure and sustaining the drive mechanism required for oil flow. Additionally, water injection enhances oil sweep efficiency, reducing the amount of residual oil trapped within the rock formation. As a result, this method ensures a more complete extraction of available hydrocarbons, ultimately improving field profitability.

Die Wissenschaft hinter der Wasserinjektion: Aufrechterhaltung des Reservoirdrucks
Reservoir pressure is essential for hydrocarbon mobility. When pressure decreases, oil becomes increasingly difficult to extract, leading to lower production rates. Water injection counteracts this decline by replacing the voids left by extracted oil, maintaining pressure and facilitating the continuous movement of hydrocarbons toward production wells.

Types of Water Used: Ulwandle, Amanzi akhiqiziwe, kanye namanzi ahlanzekile
- Seawater: Frequently used in offshore fields due to availability but requires extensive treatment to prevent reservoir damage.
- Produced Water: Water that is co-produced with hydrocarbons can be treated and reinjected, reducing disposal costs and environmental impact.
- Treated Water: Fresh or brackish water that has undergone purification processes to ensure compatibility with reservoir conditions.
Injection Patterns and Techniques: Peripheral, Pattern, and Gravity-Assisted Injection
- Peripheral Injection: Injecting water at the edges of the reservoir to push oil toward production wells.
- Pattern Injection: A systematic approach using strategically placed injection wells to create uniform pressure distribution.
- Gravity-Assisted Injection: Utilizing the natural density difference between water and oil to encourage downward displacement of oil.
Benefits and Challenges of Water Injection
Increased Oil Recovery Rates: How Water Injection Boosts Production
Water injection significantly enhances recovery rates by improving oil displacement efficiency. By maintaining reservoir pressure and optimizing fluid movement, this technique can extract an additional 20-40% of original oil in place (OOIP) beyond what primary recovery alone can achieve.
