High Pressure Pump serves a variety of functions in oilfield water injection, which are critical to improving oil recovery efficiency and extending oilfield life. Below are a few of the main functions of high pressure pumps in oilfield water injection:
Water Drive to Increase Production: During the oil recovery process, the production capacity of oil wells decreases over time. To increase the efficiency of oil recovery, crude oil can be propelled through the field by injecting high-pressure water. A High Pressure Water Injection Piston Pump provides the required pressure to inject water into the well, which drives and propels the oil in the well toward the collection point and increases the output of crude oil.
Horizontal Well Fracturing: High pressure pumps play an important role in horizontal well fracturing operations. Horizontal well fracturing is a common technique used to increase the production capacity of oil wells by injecting high pressure water and additives to break up the formation rock and increase the permeability of the well. A High Pressure Emulsion Pump provides the high water pressure needed to inject the water and additives into the horizontal well, effectively fracturing the formation and increasing the well's production capacity.
Anti-Siltation and Wellbore Cleaning: Sediments and impurities are often found inside oil wells, affecting the well's production capacity and fluid flow. High Pressure Cleaning Pump can be used to clean the wellbore inside the well, injecting high-pressure water into the wellbore to flush and remove sediments, preventing the wellbore from silting up and restoring the well's normal production capacity.
Pressure Maintenance: In oilfield extraction, the formation pressure around the well is maintained by injecting water to prevent the well from drying out prematurely. High-pressure pumps provide the required pressure and flow rate to inject water into the formation around the oil well to maintain the formation pressure and extend the service life of the oil well.
In summary, the versatility of high-pressure pumps in oilfield water injection includes such important roles as water-driven production enhancement, horizontal well fracturing, anti-siltation and wellbore cleaning, and pressure maintenance. They play a crucial role in improving oil recovery efficiency, increasing production and extending oilfield life.
