Simultaneous production and injection can be achieved in a single well bore. Injection into the upper zone provides pressure support for the lower production zone to increase production.
Produced water from the lower zone can be recycled and injected back into the well. When the distance between zones is restricted, a pod system with seal bore packer can be used.
This also allows zones to be isolated with an isolation valve to prevent communication between zones during a workover.
Advantages
- Injection to upper zone to boost lower zone reservoir pressure to increase production in a single well bore
- Ability to recycle produced water from the produced zone and recycle into the upper injection zone
- Pod system eliminates ESP cable going past perforations
- Seal bore packer used when distance between zones is small
- Allows zone isolation with an isolation valve during workover to prevent zone communication
