water disposal

This paper presents an approach to the identification, selection, and implementation of initiatives for sustainable water management, withdrawal reduction, and water valorization.

Disposal wells remain the lowest-cost solution for produced water, but concerns over seismicity and long-term sustainability are accelerating interest in alternatives.

The Texas Railroad Commission has tightened its guidelines on the permitting of disposal wells in the Permian Basin.

The paper aims to address the challenges and opportunities in managing produced water and its contaminants in the petroleum industry.

At SPE’s Permian Basin Energy Conference, operators shared behind-the-scenes details on innovations such as drilling horseshoe wells and trimulfrac completions along with in-basin challenges such as handling produced water.

This paper discusses the benefits of glass-reinforced-epoxy-lined carbon steel for tubulars, which provides long-lasting protection resulting in major cost savings throughout the life cycle.

This paper presents autonomous-inflow-control-device installations in multiple horizontal wells of the Singue oilfield development in Ecuador.

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?

The produced water conundrum in the Permian Basin will be solved by a mix of recycling, disposal, and future breakthroughs in technology currently being studied.

The Texas Railroad Commission has designated a new swath of the Permian as a Seismic Response Area after a series of earthquakes linked to water-disposal wells rattled the area.
