Session 6: Produced Water Disposal Reduction Strategy
Chair: Mike Hightower, New Mexico Produced Water Research Consortium; Brian Bohm, Apache Corporation
A produced water management technique to reduce produced water disposal include recycling and/or volume reduction. This session will highlight emerging technologies being developed to enhance produced water evaporation or vaporization from storage ponds or pits without the common environmental, ecological, and operational impacts identified with the use of more traditional evaporation technologies and approaches.
Speakers:
Salt Dispersion and VOC Emission Control During Surface Evaporation of Produced Water
Mark Patton, Hydrozonix
Efficacy of Rotary Atomization for Produced Water Evaporation
Ed Butler, e3 Solutions
Contained Assisted Produced Water Evaporation with Water Recovery
Paul Kite, Strongbox Solutions
Enhanced Evaporation for Induced Seismicity Volume Reduction: Permian & Delaware Field Case Studies
Robert Ballantyne, RWI Enhanced Evaporation
