Produced water

Treatment field manual
Produced water is mainly salty water trapped in the reservoir rock and brought up with oil or gas during production. Almost all offshore oilfields produce large quantities of contaminated water that can have serious environmental effects if not handled properly. Over the life of a well, the volume of water produced will exceed the volume of oil by 3 - 6 times. Produced water has no commercial value so operators must treat large amounts of water at the lowest possible cost. Packed with over 500 tables, figures, and equations, the object of this book is to provide any one involved in the design, operation, maintenance and sizing of produced water treatment systems with a handy reference to the latest technology, management, treatment, and handling practices.
