New synthetic water treatment media shows big potential to reduce costs of treating produced water from polymer flooding

 

Continuing oil and gas market pricing pressures keep exploration and production (E&P) operators looking for new ways to extract more oil from existing reserves for less. Typically, they have used enhanced oil recovery (EOR) techniques to tap the majority of oil in a reservoir – 55% to 80% – that cannot be primarily accessed via geological pressures or secondarily via water ooding. A new water treatment media has now been debuted – able to load up to five times more oil – that promises to make EOR even more economical.
