There are many reasons why a disposal caisson is vital to all platforms:

  1. Contains Produced Water upsets and prevents out-of-compliance fines.
  2. Disposes produced water below sea-level. Produced Water can sheen with as little as 5ppm of free oil if dumped overboard during certain conditions.
  3. Keeps produced water separate from oxygenated open drains, preventing scaling and other future problems.
