  • Does wastewater treatment reduce hazardous impact of petroleum produced water (PPW)?
  • The present study presents several wastewater treatment technologies in handling the petroleum produced water (PPW) and reducing the hazardous impact to the environment. Safe reuse is also presented including simple, advanced, and environmentally friendly techniques.
  • How PPW is treated in oil & gas industry?
  • The objective is to through light on the impact of petroleum wastewater on the environment. There are five major traditional treatment technologies that are used in handling PPW from oil and gas related industries. Membrane technologies, biological treatment, electro-chemical coagulation, Physical/chemical treatment, catalytic oxidation.
  • Who is responsible for wastewater treatment?
  • The harm caused by this industry is seen in all countries. Companies that produce such wastewater are responsible for its treatment prior to disposal or recycling into their production processes.
  • Can wastewater production data be used to evaluate long-term well profitability?
  • The database provided in this study enables large-scale assessment of environmental and economic challenges linked to oil and gas wastewater production. For example, temporal wastewater production data can be combined with hydrocarbon production data to evaluate long-term well profitability.
