Abstract
The Influence of Production Chemicals on the Quality of Oilfield Produced Water
Highlights
Crude oil production is as much about produced water as it is about energy production [1]
The Izombe Flow Station (IFS), which is currently operated by Addax Petroleum Development Nigeria Limited, is an onshore crude oil and natural gas facility located Oil Mining Lease (OML) 124 in Izombe, Oguta Local Government Area of Imo State, Nigeria
Production chemicals used in Izombe Flow Station Considering the age of the fields, several production chemicals are employed for crude oil production in IFS
Summary
Crude oil production is as much about produced water as it is about energy production [1]. In the United States of America (USA), produced water comprises approximately 98% of the total volume of exploration and production waste generated by the oil and gas industry [3]. It is the largest volume of waste generated by the oil and gas industry [4]. Toluene, ethylbenzene, xylene isomers and phenols are found in produced water as soluble but toxic compounds. The solubility of these compounds in produced water has made their removal challenging [8]
