Obstructing fluid plugs are removed from a base section of a riser, which base section extends between a receiving end connected to an upright section of the riser and an emitting end of the riser connected to a subsea template located on a seabed over a drill hole to a subterranean void into which fluid received via the riser is to be injected from the subsea template (120). The obstructing fluid plugs are removed either by injecting heated assisting from a storage container into an injection point in the base section and injecting heated assisting liquid from the vessel in the upright section of the riser, or a heating unit is controlled to heat the base section to a predetermined temperature, and thereafter maintain a temperature level here above or equal to the predetermined temperature.
A method of removing obstructing fluid plugs from a base section of a riser, which base section extends between a receiving end connected to an upright section of the riser and an emitting end of the riser connected to a subsea template located on a seabed, which subsea template is further connected to a wellhead for a drill hole to a subterranean void into which fluid received via the riser is to be injected from the subsea template, the method comprising:
