Desalting EOR produced water to boost productivity

Oil companies have the opportunity to cut costs, recycle water, and improve yields using innovative field tested technologies. Water flood enhanced oil recovery (EOR) produced water desalination proved the cost of polymer can be cut by over 50%, while also recycling precious water. The electrodialysis reversal (EDR) technology with novel oil-tolerant ion exchange membranes may prove to be a new frontier in produced water treatment.
