Abstract
Gas is supplied from a host facility (2) to an underwater gas compressor (10) via a connecting pipeline (6) and the gas compressor is connected to a plurality of gas injection wells (7) for a hydrocarbon reservoir via well supply flowlines (8). The gas compressor (10) compresses the supplied gas to a higher pressure, and drives the gas into the reservoir via the flowlines (8) and gas injection wells (7) at a pressure at least as high as the pressure of the production fluid in the reservoir. This raises the overall pressure in the reservoir to drive production fluid there to the host facility (2). The compressed gas may alternatively be injected into production fluid in a production well to provide a gas lift effect.
