Completion Fluids Filtration

Clean completion fluids are essential to maximise the productivity of the producing reservoir. Dirt particles in completion fluids have major effects on permeability of the reservoir which results in significant reduction of the oil production and the lifetime of the production as well.

Water Injection

The productivity of ageing oil wells can be significantly increased through the use of water injection. Statistics have shown that a reservoir produces. The most important issue in maintaining oil production is to keep the matrix / formation as clean as possible.

Produced Water Polishing System

All oil and gas fields produce water and condensate oil and gas during production. The produced water often contains high levels of dissolved and free hydrocarbons after the first separation stage and requires additional treatment / "polishing" before it can be discharged overboard or re-injected into the reservoir.

Seawater Intake

Clean seawater is used in various oilfield applications, including water injection, cooling water intake, process water, ballast water and pre-filtration. Algae, sand, silt and other contaminants cause plugging and damage to installations and processes.

Water Purification and Desalination

Bluewater Desalination Plant - How It Works - PDF (351 KB)

Sydney's Desalination Project is one of the initiatives to secure Sydney’s water supply against the effects of climate change, population growth and drought. The desalination plant can supply up to 250 million litres of water a day – which is up to 15 % of Sydney’s water needs.

Blue Water represents the joint venture between Veolia and John Holland who is building the desalination plant at Sir Joseph Banks Drive, Kurnell and building the sea tunnels that connect to the intake and outlet structures 300 metres off-shore in the Tasman Sea. The desalination plant is not one structure, but a series of structures. These include:

• a reverse osmosis facility
• drinking water storage tanks
• a waste water treatment facility
• pre and post treatment plants
• stormwater management system
• intake pump station and screening plant

Scottech have formed a strategic partnership with Twin Filter(Holland) to ensure relevant support of this ambitious project is maintained to the highest industry standards. Scottech is to ensure effective communication supports the operational objectives, delivery of filtration consumables and onsite project management requirements can be provided with in Australia. A delegation from Scottech recently visited the Sydney Kurnell Plant during November 2009, providing valuable insight and opportunities to expansion of the commercial aspect in the developing desalination global market.
