Water management
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.
This paper explores the development of direct-lithium-extraction technologies designed to recover lithium from unconventional feedstocks.
This paper reviews existing literature, the operator’s records, service-company data, and simulation studies to assess the risk of using seawater in carbonate acidizing.

In terms of platform technologies and extraction strategies, there are fundamental differences between the North Sea and the deepwater Gulf of Mexico (GOM). -
The objective of this paper is to detail how water quality and injection pressure are deduced when uncertainties of input data are considered.
-
Many strategies have been implemented to mitigate the problem of high water-production rates seen in mature fields.
-
Polluted streams in Pennsylvania could provide a source of water for hydraulic fracturing and help prove a new way to clean up waterways contaminated by coal mine waste.
-
This is the fourth article of a series covering water management in hydraulic fracturing (HF) in unconventional resources. This article discusses the use of mechanical vapor compression (MVC) as a desalination technology.
-
A growing number of alternatives for treating flowback water enable operators to meet the requirements for discharge or reuse of the water in the fracturing fluid, a scientist said recently.
-
In one Saudi Aramco offshore oil field, the production from different platforms is transported to an onshore gas/oil-separation plant (GOSP) where the produced water is removed from the hydrocarbon stream.
-
Many segments of the oil and gas production industry need improvements in water filtration over traditional methods.
-
This is the third article of a series on water management for hydraulic fracturing in unconventional resources. This month, water treatment technologies are introduced, beginning with the removal of suspended solids by coagulation/flocculation and electrocoagulation for recycling flowback fluids.
-
Concerns have been expressed and published about the amount of water used in Canada’s oil-sands industry.
