Such limited PID deployment is explained by complexity of operational parameters synchronizing for every Water Injection System component.\u0000 The decentralized Water Injection System at the West Qurna 2 project is common and united pipeline system for every WellPad that provides water transfer from Water source wells (3-5 wells per WellPad) to injection wells (3-6 wells per WellPad) with line pressure of 70-130 Barg by means of high-capacity ESP equipped with VSD.\u0000 Water injection process is regulated by controlling both the conventional ESP parameters (frequency, flow rate, motor current and load, Intake and discharge pressures), line pressure, required injection rate by means of flow control valves, and implemented PID control loop algorithm.\u0000 This paper discusses the techniques of PID control loop algorithm application as the tool for: –Pipeline protection against high pressure without full shutdown of water injection process and–ESP automated regulation to ensure operation inside Recommended Operated Range (ROR) and smoothening of ESP mode when any changes in the system happen (i.e. shutdown of other water source well ESP's at the same WellPad or shutdown of injection well) with immediate feedback to Operator Control Room. Implemented approach allows to decrease number of ESP shutdowns and avoid high jumping of ESP loads that consequently leads to maximizing of ESP run life.\u0000 Comparative examples and case studies of submersible equipment operation results before and after the application of PID regulation are specified.\u0000 Mainly by implementing PID regulation and control stable and smooth operation of equipment and ESP's used for WIS (direct injection from Water Source Well to Injection Well) has been achieved.\u0000 New approach for PID application as a tool for pipeline overpressure protection has been formed, which allowed to reduce Capital Expenses for the WIS construction works.

Outputs of dielectric dispersion logs including computation of Archie's parameters (m=n), water-filled porosity enable clearly identified the hydrocarbon-bearing zones despite misleading oil saturation calculated using resistivity-dependent saturation approach in front of most porous reservoir.

Those entail emergency situations, spillage of process fluids and oil products, corrosive media and cause irrecoverable damage to the natural environment.\u0000 The interest to inline research is caused by the fact that the existing inspection pigging and gravimetric methods using pilot joints only allow one to detect general destruction of the material in flow while predominant effect of each of the impacting factors remains unknown.\u0000 Parallel processes like corrosion and erosion are inseparable at the first glance especially in gas-liquid mixtures with high flow rates and existence of solids. Erosion is the destruction of material caused by the effect of dynamic flow of gas, solid particles and electrical discharges. The problem of erosive wear and consequently, the management and protection of pipeline systems and machinery elements becomes especially relevant nowadays.\u0000 It often happens that a gravimetric test reports high-rate destruction of metal and a false decision is made to increase inhibitor dosage; it is an often case, however, that it is erosive wear that causes destruction.
