Water and Wastewater Solutions For The Oil and Gas Industry

1. Level Measurement Precision In North American Oil Fracking 11/23/2015

   A newly discovered oil patch in western North America uses Siemens level technology during oil and natural gas extraction. SITRANS LR250 continuous radar for liquid level measurement plus Pointek CLS200 capacitance point level offer a winning combination in this application.

2. Has Fracking Gone 'Green'? 6/6/2014

   There are few topics more controversial these days than hydraulic fracturing ("fracking"). While the debate rages on as to whether fracking poses a risk to water quality, a new desalination technique addresses two other environmental concerns: water scarcity and greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. Developed by researchers at the University of British Columbia (UBC), the breakthrough technology uses excess carbon dioxide created in the fracking process to desalinate the process water, making it available for water reuse. It also generates chemicals — hydrochloric acid and carbonate salts — that are valuable for many industrial applications.

3. Smarter Source Water: Could New Thinking Unite Industry And Environmentalists? 4/21/2014

   AMD can be a valuable resource for the oil and gas industry and result in cleaning up thousands of streams and rivers in the nation.

4. Guidelines For Biocide Performance Assessment Using 2nd Generation ATP 11/24/2020

   The following are guidelines for execution of biocide performance studies (or ‘kill studies’) on industrial process samples such as oilfield process waters, pulp and paper process waters, metalworking samples, fuels and fuel-associated waters. These guidelines have been generated to leverage the unique features of Adenosine Triphosphate (ATP) monitoring test kits from LuminUltra Technologies Ltd. which include provisions to minimize interferences from various sources including suspended particles, organic molecules, heavy metals, dissolved solids, residual biocides and extra-cellular ATP.

5. 3 Solutions To Water-Intensive Fracking 9/23/2015

   Are you for or against it? It seems everyone has picked a side in the debate over hydraulic fracturing (“fracking”), but most conflict would likely fall away if fracking was performed in a proven safe and sustainable manner, verified by a reliable source.

6. Forward Osmosis: How It Works, And Why It's Important 3/24/2014

   Is this innovative desalination technique ready to topple incumbent technologies? An industry expert explains the benefits and potential of forward osmosis.

7. 10 Produced Water Treatment Technologies: Evaluating The Pros And Cons 4/14/2014

   As the oil industry grows, so does the amount of produced water that must be treated. A variety of technologies are available for produced water treatment. Water Online shares a side-by-side comparison. 

8. Automation In Oil And Gas: A Starter's Guide 9/12/2022

   From drilling to logistics to preventing theft, automation in oil and gas is quickly becoming the standard. Learn how tech helps increase ROI and improves safety in this starter guide.

9. Well-Pad Automation Through The CC1310 Wireless MCU 9/14/2022

   To stay competitive against big players, smaller regional oil and gas companies are turning to well-pad automation practices to keep their costs low and their production reliable and steady.

10. Diamond Electrode Wastewater Treatment Shines Bright 2/25/2016

    No business wants the word "toxic" associated with its operations. The world has grown very weary (and wary) of companies that aren't environmentally responsible. So while toxic wastewater as a byproduct of mining, oil refining, or other industrial processes isn't new, the impetus to treat these streams is steadily rising.
