... with the deoiler. This was incorrectly interpreted as the capability of the technology rather than variation – ease or difficulty – of the separation task. As far as the operators were concerned, all produced water was the same. This assumption leads to frustration for every equipment vendor to this day. Early...

... Abstract For many years, reverse osmosis (RO) elements have been used in the treatment of produced water, including at several sites in California. The RO reduces salts and organics in the produced water to a level that allows for disposal or reuse. The RO elements used to treat produced water...

... Abstract Produced water is naturally occurring water that is produced as a byproduct during the exploration and production of oil and natural gas from the subsurface system. Produced water brought to the surface contains high saline content and may also contain Naturally Occurring Radioactive...

... in produced waters, which affects the reaction between PROE surfactant and Methyl Orange reagent. Therefore, it is necessary to match the brine composition in standard solution to obtain the calibration curve. In the measurements, three calibration curves were built using synthetic brine based on the brine...

... simulator results, boron concentration profile in produced water was successfully used to calculate seawater breakthrough percentage by considering the clay content distribution. However, the seawater breakthrough point cannot be calculated by boron as boron concentration is still at the formation level due...

... Abstract Conventional opinion has often viewed produced water as a byproduct from oil production. Disposal of this water is an expense every treatment facility must contend with as long as their wells continue to produce. This issue can become a serious logistical or environmental problem...
