produced water

This paper outlines issues to be resolved during facility design and provides guidelines, calculations, and examples for sand-handling steps to be implemented after separation.

Permian Basin oil wells produce a lot of water. Much of it is injected into disposal zones above and below the basin’s primary oil- and gas-producing zone. When water is injected into these disposal zones, the pressure increases, mainly because no fluid is concurrently removed. Is this increase in pressure a concern? The data would suggest yes.

The 5.2-magnitude earthquake is tied for the fourth strongest in Texas history. It occurred in an area where oilfield companies have long been injecting waste water.

The best wells in which to find lithium are in old conventional fields where rusty pump jacks are pulling out mostly water.

Produced water is a brew of salt, chemicals, and minerals that oil companies have always had to deal with. Landowners had no problem with that arrangement until they could see ways to make some money from it.

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

This paper presents a family of machine-learning-based reduced-order models trained on rigorous first-principle thermodynamic simulation results to extract physicochemical properties.

The Court of Appeals for the Eighth District of Texas ruled that the mineral lessee under an oil and gas lease owns the water extracted, not the surface property owner.

Paraffin deposition on the meters measuring produced water volumes causes inaccurate readings. New technology solutions enable lasting accuracy in the place of routine maintenance that provides a temporary solution.

Before 2012, water management for unconventional oil and gas plays was in its infancy and was trying to keep up with operations. Today, many of the initial challenges have been resolved but new challenges persist. What does the future hold for water in the US onshore unconventional plays?
