Water management
B3 Insight and Nanometrics plan to integrate data from seismic monitoring with a water and subsurface data analytics platform.
This article is the second of a two-part series on produced-water management in the Gulf of Mexico and covers four themes: equipment, process configuration, operations, and effluent quality.
Few things are more essential to the now global hydraulic fracturing revolution than access to fresh water, yet this dependency use has raised environmental concerns and operational challenges.
-
A magnitude 5.0 quake was followed by a magnitude 4.7 temblor, both in Culberson County in West Texas, an area that is already being watched by the Texas Railroad Commission, the state's oil regulator, because of a jump in seismic activities. -
The Texas Railroad Commission is revisiting the state’s primary oil and gas waste regulations, which were last updated in 1984, to better align them with modern industry practices and rising demands for stronger environmental protections.
-
The acquisition will add water infrastructure in both the Midland Basin of west Texas and the Williston in North Dakota.
-
This work investigates a cost-effective and sustainable alternative to acidification for sheen control.
-
The authors of this paper discuss how intelligent completions in the Gulf of Mexico have allowed for increased production, reduction in operating expenses, enhanced overall reservoir recovery, and improved safety and environmental performance.
-
The paper aims to address the challenges and opportunities in managing produced water and its contaminants in the petroleum industry.
-
The industry no longer considers the water as only a logistical problem. Now, it is a front-and-center component of any life-cycle planning.
-
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.
-
A comprehensive, digitized water-management application has been designed to streamline and enhance the monitoring and management of water resources used in hydraulic fracturing.
-
This first of a two-part series provides guidelines for designing and operating advanced produced-water systems on offshore platforms, covering fluid characterization, chemical treatment, equipment, process configuration, operations, and effluent quality.
