Abstract
Produced water from the petroleum industry is the huge amount of wastewater generated by it. Disposal of produced water is of utmost importance for the environment, as it is a blend of organic–inorganic, dissolved, radioactive materials, etc., thus proper treatment is required on produced water before disposing of it. If produced water is managed properly then it can be reused for various purposes within the petroleum industry or outside the petroleum industry. The focus of this paper is mainly on the utilization of produced water within the petroleum industry, for operations like injection water for water flooding, hydraulic fracturing, pressure maintenance job, EOR operations, etc. This paper describes components present in produced water and the water treatment process required for making it compatible for reuse. This paper also evaluates injection water quality and determines the effects of various contaminants present in produced water on the reservoir as well as the injection wellbore.
