Produced water is mainly salty water trapped in the reservoir rock and brought up along with oil or gas during production. Over the life of a well, the volume of water produced will exceed the volume of oil by a factor of 3-6 times. Since produced water has no commercial value, operators must find a way to treat relatively large amounts of water at the lowest possible cost. Packed with over 500 tables, figures, and equations, the objective of this book is to provide anyone who is involved in the design, operation, maintenance and sizing of produced water treatment systems with a handy reference to the latest technology, management, treatment, and handling practices.
