   Water was filtered in the water injection filters, one duty and one on standby/backwash. From the filters water was routed to the water injection pumps. The three water injection pumps each had a capacity of 221 m 3 /hr with a differential head of 2068.5 metres (209 bar). The pumps discharged to the 3,000 psi manifold and wellheads.
