“…From Equation (3), it can be inferred that there is a positive effect of the field age on the dependent variable, 12.4 %, on average, for each year of the oil field in 2014 in consonance with the results of Nasiri, Jafari, and Parniankhoy (2017).…”

“…On the other hand, the variable "water/oil ratio (WOR)" obtained statistical significance, presenting positive causality for the three years of this analysis (2014, 2015 and 2016), contributing in the increase of the amount of produced water for each variation of a unit in the water/oil ratio, on average, 1.6, 8.87 and 6.18%, respectively for 2014, 2015 and 2016. The result for this variable allows to consider that the growth of the water variable is slightly higher than the increase of the oil volume for the studied years, according to Clark andVeil (2009), Nasiri, Jafari, andParniankhoy (2017).…”

“…The demand for oil and its by-products has raised world production over the last decade (2006 to 2015) to a production level of more than 92 million barrels per day (Agência Nacional de Petróleo [ANP], 2016). With the increase in oil production, there is consequently an increase in the quantities of produced water (Clark & Veil, 2009;Nasiri, Jafari, & Parniankhoy, 2017), which requires a severe intervention with sustainable practices in order to avoid environmental damage.…”

<b>The influence of oil well on the water generation from the potiguar basin / Brazil

The geometry of oil wells can be decisive for the generation of undesirable residues in the oil and gas production. One of these residues is the produced water, which has increased its volume in the oil fields, becoming a great environmental challenge for the fields managers. Therefore, the objective of this research is to analyze the influence of oil wells types in the generation of produced water. The research was developed in 80 onshore oilfields, in production phase, at the Potiguar basin, considering the years 2014, 2015 and 2016. A conceptual model was formulated with three hypotheses, using multivariate regressions. The results indicated an increasing average of 0.5% (2014 and 2015) in the produced water volume, when 1 vertical well was added to the project; and 1.91% (2016) for each directional well introduced in the project. The age of the field was the most influential variable in the research, reaching, in the year 2015, an effect of 13.7% on the produced water generation.A influência dos poços de petróleo na geração de água na bacia potiguar/Brasil RESUMO. A geometria dos poços de petróleo pode ser decisiva quanto à geração de resíduos indesejáveis na produção de petróleo e gás. Um desses resíduos é a água produzida que tem aumentando seu volume nos campos petrolíferos e se tornado um grande desafio ambiental para os gestores desses campos. O objetivo desta pesquisa é analisar a influência dos tipos de poços petrolíferos na geração de água produzida. Esta pesquisa foi desenvolvida em 80 campos de petróleo onshore, em fase de produção, na bacia potiguar, considerando os anos de 2014, 2015 e 2016. Formulou-se um modelo conceitual composto por três hipóteses, utilizando-se das regressões multivariadas. Os resultados apontam para um aumento de 0,5% (2014 e 2015) no volume de água produzida, em média, quando acrescido um poço vertical no projeto e de 1,91% (2016) para cada poço direcional incrementado no projeto. A idade do campo revelou-se a variável de maior influência na pesquisa, alcançando, no ano de 2015, o efeito de 13,7% sobre a geração de água produzida.

“…O pH apresentou valores abaixo de 8,0, o que está relacionado à ausência de carbonatos nas amostras realizadas. Nasiri et al (2017) avaliaram AP de poços petrolíferos no Iran e encontraram alcalinidade entre 300 mg/L -380 mg/L enquanto o bicarbonato de 15 mg/L -3501 mg/L, resultados que se assemelham aos encontrados no presente estudo. No tocante aos bicarbonatos, observaram-se, nesta pesquisa, valores acima dos limites da legislação para irrigação.…”

Em regiões semiáridas, a escassez hídrica é uma problemática que põem em risco a sustentabilidade do desenvolvimento socioeconômico regional. Diante disso, o presente trabalho teve como intuito avaliar a qualidade da água produzida proveniente da indústria petrolífera no nordeste brasileiro no município de Mossoró-RN e seu potencial uso na irrigação. Amostras de água produzida foram avaliadas para caracterização físico-químicas (pH, condutividade, sólidos totais dissolvidos, salinidade, alcalinidade, carbonato, bicarbonato, cálcio, magnésio, dureza, cloreto, sódio, potássio, nitrato, sulfato, ferro) e toxicológicas (metais pesados: cádmio, cobre, chumbo, cromo, manganês, níquel, zinco e alumínio além do TOG). No que diz respeito às análises físico-químicas, os valores de NaHCO3, Ca2+, Mg2+, K+ e Cl- estiveram fora dos limiares considerados pelo manual de irrigação da EMBRAPA. Para as análises toxicológicas, todos os metais ficaram conformes e apenas o TOG extrapolou o limite permitido pela CONAMA nº 430/2011, que trata sobre a gestão do lançamento de efluentes, indicando a necessidade de incorporação de processos para eliminar e/ou minimizar a ocorrência destes compostos, uma vez que a água utilizada neste estudo era um efluente, sem qualquer tipo de tratamento, garantindo a segurança sanitária deste recurso em práticas de irrigação. Sendo assim, a água produzida pode ser considerada um recurso hídrico alternativo para irrigação após tratamento adequado

“…8 t (oil) and 17×10 12 m 3 (gas), respectively. The drive to oil and gas exploitation worldwide is accompanied by various systemic development challenges including the discharge of complex moisture of different organic and inorganic compounds (Purified Water) into the environment (Nasiri et al, 2017); water management challenges associated with unconventional oil and gas exploration (Smith et al, 2017); and poor management of other poisonous substances that impact the health of people in nearby communities (Enyoghasim et al, 2019). Ghana, one of Africa's developing economies commenced oil and gas commercial exploitation in inland Tano bowl (Western area) in 1896 (Gyasi, 2017).…”

This study investigated the benefits and challenges associated with oil and gas exploitation from the Ghanaian perspective. A case study design that embraced both quantitative and qualitative methodologies was adopted for the study. Communities close to the oil and gas production area (that is, the Jubilee Oil Field) were specifically targeted as the study population. The population covered three communities; 547,368 residents of Shama, Newtown and Takoradi in the Western region of Ghana of which a sample of 400 was accessed. Both probability and non-probability sampling frames guided the study. Questionnaire was the main tool for assessment of the perspectives of people in communities near the Jubilee Oil Field. Descriptive statistics, relative importance index and significance testing using one-sample t-test was applied for the analysis and discussion of the study results. The study identified five main environmental impacts of oil and gas exploitation in nearby communities; low fish catch, loss of jobs and livelihoods, increase in accommodation cost, environmental degradation or pollution and cultural change. Major benefits of oil and gas development were evident in activities such as the development of social amenities and appreciation of income levels for people living near oil and gas development sites. The research recommended the need to address the adverse effects of the oil and gas exploitation through the reinforcement of strict rules and regulations regarding oil and gas exploitation activities in Ghana.
