desalination

Researchers at Texas A&M University have developed a method of refining "liquid gold" for valuable critical minerals using what many consider traditional waste products: produced water and carbon dioxide.

This paper describes a method to manage high-salinity produced water in an environmentally sustainable way by extracting potable water and reducing discharge water volume by at least 50%.

Diamondback Energy has agreed to spin off its water operations. Now, who’s next?

The Gas Growth Integrated Project will capture and supply flare gas to generate electricity and treat seawater to manage pressure in oil wells in Iraq’s Basra region.

This paper examines the implementation of a dual-frequency desalter from early engagement through technology selection, engineering design, and project execution, leading to a successful startup backed by operational history.

Oil and gas extraction using water has opened up new hydrocarbon resources. However they can produce four times more salty water byproduct than oil. Desalination in shale gas and polymer-flood EOR remain niche markets for lowering cost and improving production.

Smart waterflooding by tuning injection-water salinity and ionic composition has gained attention in recent years. In this study, desalination technologies are reviewed with the objective to develop potential water-treatment solutions that can most efficiently alter injection-water chemistry.

A new techhnology aimed at treating produced water at the wellsite to near-drinking-water quality.

This is the fourth article of a series covering water management in hydraulic fracturing (HF) in unconventional resources. This article discusses the use of mechanical vapor compression (MVC) as a desalination technology.

The number of offshore facilities employing waterflooding with desalination continues to grow. Currently, more than 50 sulfate removal units are in operation offshore with a total capacity of approximately 8 million BWPD.
