Salman field water injection system back in service

SHANA (Tehran) – The CEO of Iran’s Offshore Oil Company announced the return of the Salman field’s water injection system to service, stating that with the startup of the gas injection compressor turbine by the end of the first half of this year, oil production from the shared Salman field will increase, and flared gas will also be reduced.

According to the Offshore Oil Company, Ahmadreza Rasti said the field’s water injection system, which had been offline due to operational issues, was brought back into service this month. Initial reactivation involved process improvements and the booster pump system on the platform, with a capacity of approximately 20,000 barrels per day. He added that through the company’s specialized efforts, the system’s capacity will soon increase to 30,000 barrels per day after completing major repairs on the sand filters.

Rasti noted plans for major maintenance on the gas injection compressor turbine by the end of the first half of the year. Once completed and the turbine is operational, the gas injection system will be activated, further boosting oil production from the Salman field and reducing gas flaring.

He thanked the dedicated experts, engineers, and staff of Iran’s Offshore Oil Company, emphasizing that these efforts demonstrate the company’s high technical capacity to manage, maintain, and enhance production from the country’s strategic oil fields.
