The preferred source of injection water in an offshore environment is seawater.
Drilling a new well is very expensive; therefore the water for injection has to be of a very high quality to avoid plugging and scaling of the injection equipment. Souring can occur when water containing oxygen and bacteria is injected which reduces the produced hydrocarbons' value.
