Produced Water Treatment Field Manual

Produced water is mainly salty water trapped in the reservoir rock and brought up along with oil or gas during production. Suitable for those who are involved in the design, operation, maintenance and sizing of produced water treatment systems, this book deals with the technology, management, treatment, and handling practices.

Zusammenfassung
"Published in a handy small format (4.5x7.5 inches), but not so small it inhibits readability, this guide contains the essential information necessary for produced water treatment using the format of an outline, with subjects followed by short definitions which in turn are followed by lists of key points and in some cases, a list of sample figures. Appendices contain definition of terms, descriptions of water sampling, and oil concentration analysis techniques. Many schematics, drawings, and tables are included. The book is derived from the authors' two-volume Surface production operations. Thoughtfully produced and authoritative, this volume will be essential to engineers and process designers in the field."--Reference and Research Book News****
