Bottomhole injection pressure (BHIP)
Term · Oil and gas · MLC-T-OAG-000419
The pressure measured or calculated at the bottom of an injection well, representing the force exerted on the formation to introduce fluids. This pressure is a key parameter for monitoring injection operations, preventing formation damage, and maintaining reservoir pressure. It is typically measured in pounds per square inch (psi) or kilopascals (kPa).
