Our Applications

Application

KD International provides a complete range of filtration solutions for injection water treatment in enhanced oil recovery (EOR) operations. Water injection, also known as secondary recovery, is widely used to maintain reservoir pressure and maximize oil production. To prevent formation damage and ensure efficiency, injection water must be properly filtered to remove particulates, scaling agents, and corrosive elements. Effective filtration enhances oil recovery while reducing operational risks and maintenance costs.

Problem

Unfiltered injection water can introduce contaminants that cause formation plugging and reduce oil production efficiency. Key challenges include:

• Well Formation Plugging – Solids obstructing reservoir pores, lowering permeability
• Scaling & Corrosion – Minerals and impurities damaging injection pipelines
• Increased Injection Pressure – Higher energy costs and potential formation fracturing
• Frequent Well Workovers – Costly interventions due to injection well clogging
  Offshore production facilities primarily use seawater or produced water for injection, both of which require effective filtration to prevent operational issues and maintain reservoir integrity.

Solution

KD International provides high-performance filtration solutions to optimize injection water quality for enhanced oil recovery. Our advanced systems remove suspended solids, scaling agents, and corrosion-inducing contaminants. Our filtration portfolio includes:

• Injection Water Filtration Skids – High-efficiency filtration for offshore and onshore applications
• Coalescing Filtration Units – Effective separation of oil, solids, and fine particulates
• Hydrocyclone Skids – Rapid removal of heavier solids from injection water
• Self-Cleaning Filtration Systems – Automated solutions for continuous operation
• Cartridge and Bag Filters – Fine filtration to remove suspended solids
• Chemical Treatment Systems – Prevention of scaling and bacterial growth

With KD International’s tailored filtration solutions, operators achieve cleaner injection water, improved well injectivity, reduced maintenance costs, and enhanced oil recovery efficiency.
