Oil & Gas
Water Treatment for Demanding Environments.
Oil and gas water duties combine high solids, variable oil content, aggressive chemistry and often remote locations. Equipment selection has to survive the duty, and the support model has to survive the distance.
01Typical Water Systems
What Is Usually on Site.
Produced water treatment
Oil removal, solids separation and conditioning before disposal or reuse.
Injection water
Fine filtration and chemical conditioning to protect formation and injection equipment.
Utility cooling
Process cooling under high ambient temperatures and often with limited make-up water.
Utility and potable supply
Site water for personnel and services, frequently from a treated or brackish source.
02Industry Water Challenges
What Makes It Difficult.
High and variable solids
Filtration has to handle a load that changes with the well, not a design average.
Oil carryover
Free and emulsified oil blinds filtration media and disrupts downstream treatment.
Corrosive chemistry
Chloride, H₂S and dissolved gases make material selection as important as treatment.
Remote operation
Sites with limited attendance need equipment that runs unattended and reports when it cannot.
03Operational Risks
What Is at Stake.
Formation damage
Injection water quality has consequences that are expensive and slow to reverse.
Discharge limits
Produced water disposal is closely regulated and monitored.
Production uptime
Water handling capacity can become the constraint on production rate.
