Water management

Although not my favorite David Bowie song, “Under Pressure” really does reflect Produced Water Management today. Most people would agree the seismicity issue is probably on the top of the list when it comes to the complexity of managing produced water.  

Adaptive Process Solutions (APS), a produced water treatment specialist, has completed a highly successful field trial of its new Microbubble Infusion Unit (MiFU) technology, achieving a near five-fold reduction in oil in water (OiW) levels in combination with a synergistic production chemical.

Recent developments with produced water

The Commission will focus attention on the effectiveness of treatment technologies and examine proper methods for gathering, storing, treating, testing, and documenting how treated water quality evolves and is controlled in each pilot facility.

The main scope of this article describes how the possible and secure production method of large quantities of fresh/potable water from subsea bottom springs can be achieved by separating this meteoric (in origin) ground water from the saline seawater.

A new chemistry solution, first developed for the food and beverage industry, provides an environmentally safe and economical alternative for upstream water treatment without the hazards or cost of traditional oxidizers or conventional biocides.

(WO) — Abu Dhabi Sustainable Water Solutions Company (SWS), a leading provider of sustainable water solutions, announced a regional first of hitting 80% utilization of recycled water in the emirate of Abu Dhabi for the month of August.

The main scope of this paper is to describe the possible and secure production method of huge quantities of fresh/drinkable water from subsea bottom springs, by separating this meteoric (in origin) groundwater from the saline seawater.

Water ownership and other news

A water management and risk prevention company provides a detailed overview of offshore water management and the impact its innovative cleaning techniques have in optimizing potable water operations and water supply.

Our scientific qualification methodology proves the impact of our technologies through methodology defining environmental attributes that support the UN SDG framework, that enables our customers to quantifiably improve sustainability and avoid emissions in their operations with ES products and services. The ENVIROUNIT offshore slop water treatment system provides a rig-based solution for treating and recycling slop water. The multi-step process reduces waste volume by more than 95% over conventional methods. ATC automatic tank-cleaning technology reduces cleaning time, crew requirement, carbon footprint and minimizes confined-space entry. ATC improves safety, waste generation and associated emissions, decreases personnel onboard and downtime during the cleaning process. Reducing emissions associated with waste handling and transportation by up to 87%. iWISE integrated waste injection services entails the safe disposal of drilling waste into subsurface strata. It is the only elimination method, rather than a treatment method and it is considered the best available technology for drilling waste disposal.

The newly created SWS Holding took ownership of Abu Dhabi Sustainable Water Solutions Company (ADSWS), formerly known as Abu Dhabi Sewerage Services Company (ADSSC), the main entity behind all wastewater collection, treatment, and reuse in the Emirate of Abu Dhabi.

The combination creates the world’s most advanced platform of capabilities to address customers’ and communities’ critical water challenges.

This project will replace the current high-salinity, deep aquifer water systems at the fields, thereby reducing water injection related energy consumption by up to 30%.

Water markets and net water positivity

The arrangement between Infinity and QRI aims to standardize, appraise and categorize water manufactured from the energy sector on a commercial scale. With robust end-to-end workflow tools, SpeedWise Water helps to streamline the drilling and exploration process with better water analytics and data.

This platform includes fresh and produced water data, injection and land data, and Louisiana-specific layers such as reserve pits, offshore blocks and wildlife management areas.
