produced water

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%.

This paper presents the evaluation results of a water-shutoff agent based on an emulsion-type chemical material with nanoparticles.

The authors of this paper discuss the use of dissolved polystyrene waste for the preparation of nanomembranes for separation of hydrocarbon pollutants from wastewater streams.

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.
