produced water

This paper explores the development of direct-lithium-extraction technologies designed to recover lithium from unconventional feedstocks.

This case study presents a procedure in which the operator compared production from wells with adjusted wettability to a control group, finding that the adjustments resulted in significant improvements in production and reductions in produced water.

The US supermajor will use Permian Basin natural gas to support the hyperscaler’s AI business.

This guest editorial from the Center for Injection and Seismicity Research (CISR) at The University of Texas at Austin details the emerging risks posed by injection in Texas and what steps might be taken to mitigate them.

Acting director of the new center Ale Hakala outlines the research priorities guiding the newly established center’s focus on production enhancement technologies.

Ongoing seismicity concerns and orphan well risks are pushing operators and regulators to explore alternatives for managing produced water.

This paper describes a decision-support system that integrates field data, system specifications, and simulation tools to quantify system performance, forecast operational challenges, and evaluate the effect of system modifications in water management.

This paper demonstrates that high-purity salts of calcium, magnesium, strontium, sodium, and lithium can be recovered from produced-water brine using a chemical-reaction pathway followed by vacuum-driven crystallization and a lithium-extraction process.

The authors of this paper aim to design, optimize, and evaluate a scalable and energy-efficient plasma-driven advanced-oxidative-process system for produced-water remediation, emphasizing regulatory compliance for safe discharge or reuse.

The authors state that issues faced by the Gorgon carbon capture and storage project primarily relate to risk and pressure management of the produced water from the Dupuy formation rather than from capture, transport, injection, and storage technologies.
