Regulatory requirements for the Barents Sea Zero discharge policy No PW discharge during normal operation. Maximum 5 vol% of the PW can be discharged during operation interruptions, provided the PW is cleaned according to Best Available Techniques (BAT) before discharge. No discharge of red and black chemicals Barents Sea
Eni Norge environmental requirements for the Goliat field Requirements included in technical and functional requirements, contractual requirements and design basis No discharges to sea during normal operations >95 % regularity of produced water (PW) injection, and application of Best Available Techniques (BAT) for treatment of discharged PW. Re-injection of drainage-water generated on unit as for PW Minimize chemical consumption Minimize the emissions to air Electrification from shore Closed flare units Energy efficient processes and systems BAT evaluation and documentation for all systems that may affect the environmental performance of the facility
Design basis for Goliat produced water and water injection system Produced water shall be re-injected into the reservoir to minimise discharges according to regulatory requirements and contribute to increased recovery. Minimum 95% of the produced water shall be re-injected Produced water treatment system consists of 3 treatment stages; Hydrocyclones (HC), compact gas flotation units (CFU) and a produced water flash tank. PW treatment system shall operate in parallel with water injection system. Chosen design is based on BAT evaluations. The WI system shall be designed with the possibility to dedicate pumps to either produced water re-injection or seawater injection to avoid mixing of the water streams. Dedicated riser, pipeline and wells for injection of PW and SW. Slop tanks installed for temporarily storage of produced water during WI shut down (~9000 m 3 ). One clean and one dirty slop tank, where the dirty also receives reject streams from the process.
Design basis for Goliat produced water and water injection system cont. Online OiW analysis instruments shall be installed for process control downstream hydrocyclones and downstream produced water degassing vessel. Sand jetting installed in separators and degasser. Sand washing system installed to clean the removed sand before it is shipped to shore The drain water from exposed areas shall, during normal operation, be routed to the slop tank from where it further shall be routed to the water injection system Analysis shows that discharge requirements will be met with good margin due to flexibility in pump system, slop tanks for temporarily storage of produced water, separated flowlines for produced water re-injection (PWRI) and seawater injection (SWI) and several injection wells for both PWRI and SWI

Scale potential and prevention strategy Potential Low possibility of carbonate scale Sulphate scale forms from mixing of seawater and formation water Sulphate scale (Ba and Sr) anticipated in formation and screen Prediction Prediction of seawater breakthrough by tracer option in Eclipse Gas export -> Increased water rates -> Increased scaling risk in Kobbe wells Mitigation Separate water injection systems for seawater and formation water Inject produced water in Realgrunnen and seawater in Kobbe Continuous scale inhibitor injection at each OP HXMT Use of Multi-Phase meters on all production wells to measure water salinity for detection of water break-through Remedial Planned scale squeeze inhibition twice a year per well after seawater breakthrough Scale squeeze shall be performed from FPSO
