  • Why is water treatment important in oil & gas production?
  • There are many reasons why water treatment is a vital and integral part of both oil and gas production operations. Inadequate design of the water treatment system, or forgetting to optimise the system's operation, could lead to a shutdown of the hydrocarbon production system.
  • Is biological treatment effective for oil & gas produced water?
  • Biological treatment is effective but infrequently used for oil and gas produced water. To date, physical–chemical treatment methods have been favored due to the smaller space requirements and operational simplicity.
  • Does oil & gas produce water management and beneficial use?
  • Guerra K, Dahm K, Dundorf S (2011) Oil and gas produced water management and beneficial use in the Western United States, S&T Report No. 157. U.S. Department of the Interior, Bureau of Reclamation, Denver
  • How does oil and gas production affect water management?
  • Oil and gas production, particularly in arid regions, introduces a challenge for water management (Clark and Veil 2009; Guerra et al. 2011). Water must be sourced for production. Produced water generated during production must be handled, treated, and disposed.
