A movement joint includes a first tubular body, a second tubular body, a releasable fastener, and an axial lock. The first tubular body is connected to a tubing disposed in a wellbore, and includes an inner surface defining a first central bore. The second tubular body is disposed within the first central bore, and includes an inner surface defining a second central bore in fluid communication with the first central bore. The releasable fastener is positioned between the inner surface of the first tubular body and the outer surface of the second tubular body, axially connects the second tubular body to the first tubular body, and has a maximum tension threshold that is less than a tensile break strength of the tubing. The axial lock selectively engages the first tubular body and the second tubular body after a release of the releasable fastener.

Systems and methods include a method for oil-in-water content. A water injection hydraulic simulation model is calibrated using water disposal pressures and rates of a water disposal system of a gas oil separation plant, including generating baseline disposal pressures and disposal rates. The model is updated based on lab results estimating emulsion viscosity at different oil-in-water content levels. A sensitivity analysis is performed to evaluate changes in disposal pressures relative to the baseline in response to changes in water quality based on an oil-in-water emulsion content. Curves of disposal pressures versus disposal rates at different oil-in-water concentrations are generated using the changes in the disposal pressures. Changes in disposal pressures and disposal rates of the water disposal system are recorded, and the changes are compared against the generated curves. An oil-in-water content corresponding to a change in the disposal pressure is determined using the water injection hydraulic simulation model.
