Water and Wastewater Solutions For The Oil and Gas Industry

  1. Michigan Pipeline Standoff Could Affect Water Protection And Indigenous Rights Across The U.S. 8/17/2023

    Should states and Indigenous nations be able to influence energy projects they view as harmful or contrary to their laws and values? This question lies at the center of a heated debate over Enbridge Energy’s Line 5 pipeline, which carries oil and natural gas across Wisconsin and Michigan.

  2. Empowering Water Entrepreneurship: Nano Bubbles Make A Big Difference In Produced Water 4/5/2016

    Part two in our series on the “Pow! emPowering Opportunities in Water” competition from Veolia, The Water Council, and the Wisconsin Economic Development Corporation, takes a closer look at winning company Nano Gas Technologies, Inc.

  3. Magnetic Flow Meters Improve Recycling Of Gas Well-Produced Water 11/26/2019

    As old gas & oil fields play out, newer methods must be used to extract resources from areas where they are locked in layers of shale. One current technique is known as “fraccing,” in which high pressure water is pumped into the well shaft to “fracture” the rock layers, allowing more natural gas to escape and be collected. However, this technique poses a number of environmental problems, including contamination of water with hydrocarbons, solid particulates, and scale producing ions — making it unsuitable for reuse.

  4. Resource Revolution: The Energy/Water Nexus In Unconventional Oil & Gas - Highlights 4/29/2015

    GE partnered with the Wharton School's Initiative for Global Environmental Leadership (IGEL) for an industry leaders' discussion about the energy/water nexus in unconventional oil & gas production.

  5. 5 Municipal-Industrial Water Issues Analyzed 9/9/2016

    A water technology expert tackles high-profile and important topics currently affecting municipalities, industry, and the community at large.

  6. Electrocoagulation: A Shocking Approach To Wastewater Treatment 1/24/2014

    A growing number of wastewater treatment professionals are turning to electrocoagulation — a water treatment process that uses electric current to remove various contaminants from water.

  7. Importance Of Flare Gas Measurement Grows To Meet Environmental Regulations 12/1/2017

    In the oil and gas industry, regulations and requirements to measure, monitor and report flared gases continue to expand and extend. The U.S. EPA continues to focus on enhancing regulations aimed at reducing emissions of methane and volatile organic compounds (VOCs) into the environment.

  8. EPA And Canadian Researchers Partner To Ensure Effective Responses To Oil Spills 8/30/2022

    The U.S.-Canada border is the world’s longest shared border and includes four of the five Great Lakes, many rivers, additional lakes, major airsheds and migratory routes for wildlife species. In addition, there are many Native American Tribes and First Nations residents whose culture extends across the border.

  9. What To Know About The EPA's New Effluent Guidelines 8/9/2016

    The U.S. EPA’s recently released Preliminary 2016 Effluent Guidelines Program Plan indicates the industries and pollutants that the agency has its eyes on for potential future regulation.
