In production operations, it is often necessary to handle wastewater. The water must be separated from the oil and disposed of in an environmentally safe manner. This presentation describes the equipment used to separate, treat, collect, and dispose of wastewater, along with procedures for designing a water treating system consisting of skimmer tanks and vessels, plate coalescers, flotation units, and/or disposal piles. Information about equipment selection and sizing for removing suspended solids and dissolved gases from water is also provided.

Join us for this SPE Tech Talk with NexTier Completions Solutions to discuss how understanding water quality and conducting appropriate pre-job testing enables the development of tailored chemical plans to optimize frac efficiency, well production, and produced water usage. 

New CCS and geothermal projects will require novel produced water treatment technologies to process HP/HT saline produced water streams. These can contain components such as methane and CO2 in addition to the contaminants present in produced waters from oil and gas producing fields. Some of the existing produced water technologies are suitable and qualified for these applications, while in some areas the design envelope needs to be enlarged, or new technologies are needed. Various aspects around these topics will be discussed.

The presentation discusses the challenges and options associated with the treatment of water produced as a result of CSG production and how CSG water treatment differs from municipal water treatment projects. Technologies discussed include reverse osmosis, thermal brine concentration, and crystallization. Options for beneficial reuse of treatment products including treated water and salt are investigated together with the challenges associated with beneficial reuse.

This SPE Live will address produced water management and the midstream water industry in US land operations. Specifically, how advanced data analytics

This SPE Live discusses produced water in unconventional operations.

Several factors in the primary separation stages should be addressed in order to ensure optimum produced water treatment processes, regardless of the technology utilized. Potential root causes can be one or a combination of several of the parameters that will be discussed in the webinar.
