This article addresses the challenges of managing water-soluble organics (WSOs) in offshore produced water. It provides a brief discussion of the chemistry, along with strategies and technologies that can be used to manage WSO levels in produced water, thus facilitating compliance with regulatory overboard water-quality guidelines.
The new technology, recently highlighted at OTC, has received a statement of maturity from ABS.
War‑related infrastructure damage is beginning to influence global energy supply chains in ways that could reshape project development and capacity growth.

With the right internal modifications, traditional degassers can be enhanced with gas flotation for improved oily water separation. This article outlines key design considerations—including inlet and settling zones, skimming, and solids handling. Two case studies highlight lessons learned in troubleshooting and revamping degasser designs. -
