Jonathan Wright, Cameron
Produced water is a key consideration with oil and gas exploration and methods for handling the water are wide and varied. Whether discharged to sea into disposal wells or used for enhanced oil recovery it is crucial to meet environmental discharge limits and lower treatment specifications for maximising injectivity with appropriately selected produced water treatment methods. This presentation will cover some of the general principles for successful produced water handling from understanding the nature and behaviour of reservoir fluids.
