Challenge: Identify, evaluate, and design
cuttings reinjection (CRI) technology for a centralized facility in an area
with limited space and restricted permitting process for landfill disposal.
Solution: Execute a front-end engineering
design (FEED) study to examine the basis of the design, surface and subsurface
technical conditions, and implications to identify an environmentally feasible
location for a centralized CRI facility.
Results:
- Validated suitable subsurface formation for CRI and waste
containment for environmental compliance.
- Assessed capability of the subsurface formation and waste domain to
accommodate high volumes of waste.
- Evaluated well design for CRI.
- Determined the operational parameters and injection conditions for
proper equipment design.
- Outlined the high-level risks to the CRI project and proposed
mitigation options.
