Water and Wastewater Solutions For The Oil and Gas Industry

51. Assessing Key Unconventional Shale Wastewater Trends And Opportunities 2/24/2014

    The shale-gas boom could make water the most important commodity product of the 21st century.

52. Optimizing RO-Membrane Performance In Produced-Water Applications 12/15/2020

    Here are several important considerations for getting maximum value from produced-water RO treatments at minimal total lifecycle costs.

53. Advanced Aeration In Hydraulic Fractured Water Impoundments 4/6/2015

    With so much attention paid to the fate of frack water — how it’s handled and cleaned — it’s time to consider the effectiveness of prevailing treatment methods.

54. Hydraulic Fracturing And The EPA Water Study: Where Do We Go From Here? 8/3/2015

    It’s been two months since EPA released its much anticipated draft report on hydraulic fracturing, and organizations like ours are busy preparing their official comments, which are due at the end of August. But based on what we have learned so far and what has been written in the media, it’s important to spend some time on what the report said — and didn’t say — and what it all means.

55. IIoT Top News: Oil And Gas Early Adopters 9/12/2022

    In the latest IIoT Top News, we’ll take a look at some trending stories from the oil and gas industry, a quickly growing user of the Industrial Internet of Things.

56. Electrocoagulation Provides Economical Solution To Oil And Gas Waste Problem 10/4/2016

    A new generation of electrocoagulation-based water treatment has successfully treated wastewater and effluent from a remote onshore natural gas exploration and production project with over three years of continuous operation. To compound the challenges of treating this wastewater and effluent, the unit was required to operate in an extremely environmentally sensitive environment — a pristine tropical rainforest.

57. Water Scarcity In Texas: Rushing Ahead Of Science Could Scuttle Solutions 1/28/2020

    Water scarcity is a challenge facing many Texas communities, and it’s encouraging to see how many state leaders are proactively exploring solutions to our growing water needs. This has brought the oil and gas industry and the massive volumes of water it uses and produces each year into the conversation.

58. New Technology Makes Wastewater From Oilsands Safer For Fish 9/18/2020

    In the northeastern corner of Alberta, nestled among the expanses of forests and wetlands, lies a major freshwater dilemma that Canada is currently facing. The reuse of water for oil extraction causes tailings ponds to accumulate higher and higher concentrations of harmful contaminants. As such, the water in these tailings ponds is dangerous, and often lethal, to birds, fish, frogs, and plants.

59. Submersible Pumps Sales Soar On Back Of Digitization And New Initiatives On Wastewater Treatment 6/16/2020

    The global submersible pumps market size will expand 1.5X in the coming decade. Submersible pumps are emerging as the preferred pumping technology across various end-uses, including wastewater management and oil & gas manufacturing. Submersible pumps are considered ideal for applications involving highly viscous fluid that require proper elimination of vapor cavities.

60. Produced Water Management: An Overlooked Subject In Academia 8/9/2022

    Water is one of the world's most critical natural resources, but too many people take it for granted, raising awareness of its importance — and complexities — is too often left out of public discourse. My recent visit to a few engineering colleges as a STEM ambassador made me realize that many engineering programs are offered today than when I went to school.
