“…51 By understanding the factors that affect the concentration of different substances in produced water, operators can optimize their water treatment and injection processes to minimize the risk of scaling and other issues that can impact production. 52 One important factor to consider is the compatibility of the injection water with the produced water. 11 Fig.…”

“…Excessive water production is unfavorable and poses a huge challenge as it hinders high oil production, with an increase in operational costs for water treatment, thus generating low profitability [5]. Worldwide daily water Gels 2022, 8, 265 2 of 17 production is estimated at 310 million barrels from offshore and onshore oilfields, with 78 million barrels of oil per day [6]. It is the same as bringing four barrels of water to the surface with every barrel of oil.…”

“…The cost can be as high as USD 5 per barrel of water, depending on the technologies that are used. Taking USD 0.5 per barrel of water as the nominal disposal cost, the worldwide oil and gas sector must endure an enormous amount of nearly USD 55 billion in annual costs for managing 310 million barrels of water per day [6,7]. When the expense of handling produced water surpasses the value of the hydrocarbon produced by the well, well shutdown could be inevitable.…”

Gels

Polymer gel treatment is one of the most popular conformance control methods used in the petroleum industry. The advantage of the polymer gel system used in harsh reservoir conditions is an integrated process that must take into account all elements of gelation kinetics. In high-temperature applications, NH4Cl has been selected as a retarder to extend the gelation time of a PAM/PEI gel system. However, the gel network loses gel strength when salt and retarder increase, resulting in a weak gel structure, and becomes susceptible. The combination of these two variables leads to the development of a weak gel network, making it fragile and susceptible. To strengthen the weakened PAM/PEI polymer gel, the addition of silica nanoparticles (silica NP) is considered an effective remedy. This article presents the performance of PAM/PEI polymer gel strengthened with silica NP, especially the performance in terms of viscosity, gelation time, and gel strength, as well as performance in porous media. For example, the results exhibited a high storage modulus, G′, which is almost 800 Pa, compared to the loss modulus, G″, throughout the frequency and strain range, indicating solid-like behavior, at significantly high amounts of silica NP. This finding provides a better understanding and knowledge on the influence of solid particles in enhancing the performance of PAM/PEI polymer gel that has been weakened by salinity and retarder.

“…Produced water (PW) is a significant byproduct of the oil and gas industry. PW is a mixture of dispersed oil and other hydrocarbons, dissolved inorganic and organic compounds, corrosion and treatment chemicals, heavy metals, solids, and residual production-line additives [1,2]. Produced water typically encompasses toxic pollutants, posing a tremendous environmental threat and precluding additional production activities.…”

High-Frequency Pulsatile Parameterization Study for the Titania Ceramic Membrane Fouling Mitigation in Oily Wastewater Systems Using the Box–Behnken Response Surface Methodology

In this comprehensive study, a seven-channel ultrafiltration (UF) titania membrane was used to investigate the impact of the pulsatile cleaning process on the crossflow filtration system. Seventeen experimental runs were performed for different operating conditions with a transmembrane pressure (TMP) varying from 0.5 to 1.5 bar, a crossflow velocity (CFV) ranging from 0.5 to 1 m/s, and pulsatile parameters within an interval varying from 60 to 120 s with a duration of 0.8 s, and collecting membrane permeate flux and volume data. The optimized operating conditions revealed that a TMP of 1.5 bar, a CFV of 0.71 m/s, and a pulsatile cycle of 85 s were the best operating conditions to reach the highest steady permeability flux and volume of 302 LMH and 8.11 L, respectively. The UF ceramic membrane under the optimized inputs allowed for an oil-rejection ability of 99%. The Box–Behnken design (BBD) model was used to analyze the effect of crossflow operating conditions on the permeate flux and volume. The analysis of variance (ANOVA) indicated that the quadratic regression models were highly significant. At a 95% confidence interval, the optimum TMP significantly enhanced the flux and permeate volume simultaneously. The results also demonstrated a positive interaction between the TMP and the pulsatile process, enhancing the permeate flux with a slight impact on the permeate volume. At the same time, the interaction between the CFV and pulsatile flow improved the permeability and increased the permeate volume.
