In this study, adsorption of emulsified oil in produced water was experimented using synthetic resins. Adsorbent dosage, contact time, initial oil concentration, and PH were the main key parameters evaluated for Optipore L493, Amberlite IRA 958, Amberlite XAD 7 and Lewatit AF 5. Oil removal rates have reached up to 98% using AF 5, XAD 7 and L493, while they are lesser than 25% for IRA 958. Isotherm data were fitted using Langmuir, Freundlich, Toth, Flory Huggins and Dubinin-Radushkevich models. Adsorption isotherms for XAD 7 and L 493 were best fitted using Langmuir model, whereas AF 5 curves were best fitted using Dubinin-Radushkevich. Kinetic data describing the rate of adsorption for each resin were studied and fitted using pseudo-first and second order equations in addition to intraparticle diffusion models. The experimental results were best-fitted using pseudo second order kinetics. The obtained results confirm the applicability of the resins for the removal of oil from produced water.

Abstract Getting correct estimates for Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs) and greenhouse gases (GHGs) from water storage tanks is not only important for maintaining emission compliance for state and national regulatory authorities, but also crucial in designing the capital-intensive systems for economic use of methane and other Natural Gas Liquid (NGL) gasses. This paper highlights the significance of gas liberated from produced water tanks in the fields. The paper presents a laboratory method to estimate such emissions from produced-water storage tanks by virtue of the in-situ water getting depressurized and releasing VOCs, and other emission gasses such as Hydrogen Sulfide (H2S) and Carbon Dioxide (CO2). Further, the paper provides qualitative and quantitative assessment of the gas liberated from produced-water by analyzing the gas liberated from produced-water from gas-condensate reservoir wells from the Marcellus region.

The objective of this study was to investigate the effect of polymer (GLP-100) and surfactant (MFOMAX) towards the efficiency of oil removal in a flotation column by using the Response Surface Methodology (RSM). Various concentrations of surfactant (250, 372 and 500 ppm) and polymer (450, 670, and 900 ppm) produced water were prepared. Dulang crude oil was used in the experiments. Flotation operating parameters such as gas flow rate (1–3 L/min) and duration of flotation (2–10 min) were also investigated. The efficiency of oil removal was calculated based on the difference between the initial concentration of oil and the final concentration of oil after the flotation process. From the ANOVA analysis, it was found that the gas flow rate, surfactant concentration, and polymer concentration contributed significantly to the efficiency of oil removal. Extra experiments were conducted to verify the developed equation at a randomly selected point using 450 ppm of polymer concentration, 250 ppm of surfactant concentration, 3 L/min gas flowrate and duration of 10 min. From these extra experiments, a low standard deviation of 1.96 was discovered. From this value, it indicates that the equation can be used to predict the efficiency of oil removal in the presence of surfactant and polymer (SP) by using a laboratory flotation column.

The study was concerned with the treatment of tank dewatering produced water using hybrid microfiltration (MF) and ultrafiltration (UF) processes. The pre-treatment MF membrane was fabricated with polyethersulfone (PES), n-methyl-2-pyrrolidone (NMP) and polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVP). The UF membranes meanwhile contained additional component, i.e., titanium dioxide (TiO2) nanoparticles in the range of zero to 1.0 wt.%. The membrane performances were analysed with respect to permeate flux, oil removal and flux recovery ratio. An increase in TiO2 nanoparticles enhanced the pore formation, porosity and pure water permeability due to improved hydrophilicity. The permeate flux of UF membranes increased with the increase of TiO2 nanoparticles and pressure. The oil removal rate by MF process was only 52.35%, whereas the oil rejection efficiency was between 82.34% and 95.71% for UF process. It should be highlighted that the overall oil removal rate could achieve as high as 97.96%. Based on the results, the PES membrane incorporated with 1.0 wt.% TiO2 was proved to be the most promising membrane at a transmembrane pressure of 3 bar. Although 1.0 M NaOH solution could be used as cleaning agent to recover membrane water flux, it is not capable of achieving good results as only 52.18% recovery rate was obtained.

Abstract The expected profiles of the water produced from the mature ADNOC fields in the coming years imply an important increase and the OPEX of the produced and injected water will increase considerably. This requires in-situ water separation and reinjection. The objective of in-situ fluid separation is to reduce the cost of handling produced water and to extend the well natural flow performance resulting in increased and accelerated production. The current practice of handling produced water is inexpensive in the short term, but it can affect the operating cost and the recovery in the long term as the expected water cut for the next 10-15 years is forecasted to incease significantly. A new water management tool called downhole separation technology was developed. It separates oil and & gas from associated water inside the wellbore to be reinjected back into the disposal wells. The Downhole Oil Water Separation (DHOWS) Technology is one of the key development strategies that can reduce considerable amounts of produced water, improve hydrocarbon recovery, and minimize field development cost by eliminating surface water treatment and handling costs. The main benefits of DHOWS include acceleration of oil offtake, reduction of production cost, lessening produced water volumes, and improved utilization of surface facilities. In effect, DHOWS technologies require specific design criteria to meet the objectives of the well. Therefore, multi--discipline input data are needed to install an effective DHOWS with a robust design that economically outperforms and boosts oil and/or gas productions. This paper describes the fundamental criteria and workflow for selecting the most suitable DHOWS design for new and sidetracked wells to deliver ADNOC production mandates in a cost-effective manner while meeting completion requirements and adhering to reservoir management guidelines.
