Abstract
Produced water is a complex mixture of organic and inorganic compounds and the largest volume of by-product generated during oil and gas recovery operations. The potential of oilfield produced water to be a source of fresh water for water-stressed oil-producing countries and the increasing environmental concerns in addition to stringent legislations on produced water discharge into the environment have made produced water management a significant part of the oil and gas business. This article reviews current technologies for the management of produced water, examines how electrochemical techniques may be used in these areas and compares the prospects for future development. It suggests that treatment…
