Water and Wastewater Solutions For The Oil and Gas Industry

  1. Flowback Water Treatment In The Permian Basin, TX: A Case Study From A Large Oil/Gas E&P Company 2/1/2021

    Produced water from the extraction process of oil and gas reserves, as well as flow back water from hydraulic fracturing operations, must be properly managed in order to mitigate any environmental impacts to existing water supplies caused by oil drilling/fracturing activities.

  2. Understanding Closed Pipe Flow Measurement 7/26/2024

    This recent Q&A with Richard Lowrie, KROHNE’s Water and Wastewater Industry Manager for the US and Canada, covers closed pipe measurement and its enabling technologies.

  3. Saving Oil And Gas: Improving Profit Margins In Down Times With Innovative Water Management 5/31/2016

    With oil prices depressed, exploration and production companies unearth the money-saving opportunities in water management planning.

  4. Flow Meter Helps HollyFrontier's Woods Cross Refinery Measure Flare Gas For Safety And Environmental Compliance 8/13/2018

    When the plant team at HollyFrontier’s Woods Cross Refinery, near Bountiful, Utah, needed mass flow meters to measure flare gas to the main flare header, the team drew on its past metering experiences for this difficult application.

  5. The Changing Role Of Infrastructure Within The Oil And Gas Industry 10/13/2016

    The drop in price of a barrel of oil has had an understandable impact on major projects in the oil and gas industry. Three years ago, with crude trading above $100 a barrel, schedule was the overriding priority. As time delays were equated to lost revenue opportunity, there was less attention paid to the ultimate cost efficiency of a major project.

  6. Disruption To Growth: Navigating The Sensor Revolution 4/22/2016

    As critical gateways to the Internet of things (IoT), sensors are sure to have a massive social and economic impact globally within the next decade.

  7. Fracking Disclosures Show Widespread Use Of Hazardous Chemicals 4/3/2023

    Fracking, short for hydraulic fracturing, is a process in which workers inject fluids underground under high pressure. The fluids fracture coal beds and shale rock, allowing the gas and oil trapped within the rock to rise to the surface. Advances in fracking launched a huge expansion of U.S. oil and gas production starting in the early 2000s but also triggered intense debate over its health and environmental impacts.

  8. Can SNOWater Fix Fracking Treatment? 12/19/2017

    As the popularity of hydraulic fracturing continues to strain available water supplies, a new technology may be the key to recycling produced water in an affordable way.

  9. How Oil & Gas States Did (And Did Not) Protect Land And Water In 2018 1/11/2019

    Keeping an eye on what happens with domestic oil and gas regulation is a bit like herding cats. We’ve seen encouraging progress on air quality issues related to oil and gas, but an equally critical front that’s seen major action is protection of our land and water resources.

  10. 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.
