... Abstract The objective of this study is to evaluate the alternatives for water disposal and management during coalbed methane production in remote arctic conditions. In this paper, we evaluate five methods of water disposal in the arctic environment. These methods are (1) direct discharge onto...

... geological risk Low capital for non-thermal projects In addition, immediate concerns about environmental issues such as sand disposal and gas migration appear to have been resolved to the extent that there is no immediate threat to the operating environment. The key risk factors remain oil and gas...

... Abstract The hydrocyclone separation has proved to be an indispensable tool in offshore petroleum industry. The critical problem in-offshore drilling and production is to reduce concurrently the oil and solids concentrations in produced water to acceptable levels before its reuse or disposal...

... for the disposal of this material. As part of an integrated approach, one method under evaluation is the storage of the fine tails sludge in the mined out pits and capping it with a layer of clean water. The capping layer will effectively isolate the fine tails from mixing and will sustain a viable aquatic...

... Abstract State-of-the-Art for treatment and disposal of offshore production wastes was established through a review of the regulations, practices and experience in the Gulf of Mexico, the California offshore, Cook Inlet (Alaska) and the North Sea. Performance and cost of treatment...

... Abstract Large out-at-pit ponds are required tor the disposal of tailings from the oil sands open pit mines. Present methods of tailings disposal have largely evolved to provide safe engineering designs. Increasing numbers of environmental concerns must, however, be addressed in the d:!sign...
