Produced water

The presence of fine solids and dissolved organics in produced water from Steam-Assisted Gravity Drainage (SAGD) process can potentially block pressure vessels and cause fouling and corrosion in steam boilers. Ceramic membranes in tubular configurations with pore sizes of 20 kDa, 50 nm and 100 nm were

Produced water management is one of the key challenges faced by the oil and gas industry globally. Specifically, the gas industry in Qatar is challenged to minimize the produced/process water (PPW) volumes injected into disposal wells to ensure long term sustainability of the reservoirs. This researc

• Highly impaired liquid streams can be sustainably treated by forward osmosis. • Forward osmosis treatment of drilling mud and produced water was evaluated. • Water recovery N 70% was achieved in pilot and demonstration scales. Forward osmosis is a suitable and effective process for treatment of di

This study refined the hardness removal (together with chemical oxygen demand (COD) and turbidity) from the produced water by a pilot-scale electrocoagulation (EC) system to mitigate the scaling and fouling of Reverse Osmosis (RO) membranes. In preliminary studies, effects of initial pH, current dens

Desalination of brines produced from oil and gas fields is a potential resource for potable water in the southwestern U.S. and other semi-arid areas. Oilfield brines typically contain high concentrations of Na+ and Cl!, as well as other multivalent cations and anions that can reduce efficacy of reve

Water co-produced with oil and gas is termed produced water. Produced water is very difficult wastewater to treat and characteristics changes by well to well. In this study, treatability of produced water generated from oil production fields in Trakya region which is operated by National Oil and Nat
