From dirt to consumption: Solutions for water movement, treatment, and reuse in upstream, midstream, and downstream/refining processes
Overview
Water is inseparable from energy production. Long before a barrel of crude becomes jet fuel, gasoline, or the feedstock for plastics and hydrogen, water plays a critical role at every stage of extraction, processing, and refining. Water is central to production, compliance, and the fundamental right to operate. Water is central to production, compliance, and the fundamental right to operate. This idea is top of mind—from the operators running day-to-day processes to the companies that hold leases and own oilfields and refineries. Water is not a peripheral concern, its management is essential to the success of the energy stream.
Applications along the processing pipeline are addressed in different ways. Solutions for produced water sites are often customized based on water chemistry and can be delivered via mobile, rapid response. Water treatment at refineries can be mobile or permanent, and also highly customized.
Key Topics
In addition to addressing water related issues along the pipeline, this webinar explores how produced water can be treated and monetized for a broader reuse market.
Attendees will learn:
- Why water management is mission-critical
- Upstream produced water challenges and solutions
- Midstream water demands across pipeline and processing assets
- Precision refinery treatment (boiler feedwater, cooling, wastewater biological/polishing, and hydrogen feedstock)
- Emergency support and partnership models
- Monetizing treated produced water
