Questions and Answers

What is the primary cause of reservoir souring?

  • Injecting water into hydrocarbon reservoirs (correct)
  • Using incompatible drilling fluids
  • Improper well casing and cementing
  • Exposing fluids to high temperatures
  • Why is water injection often necessary in hydrocarbon reservoirs?

  • To dissolve and remove salt deposits
  • To dilute the hydrocarbons for easier transportation
  • To cool down the reservoir temperature
  • To enhance oil recovery by providing pressure support (correct)
