1 Treatment for Blended Produced and Fresh/Brackish Water

2 Produced Water Cycle Wellhead to Injection Well Well Pad Salt Water Disposal Gathering System Chemical Treatment Tank Battery Biocide Oil/Water Separation

3 Typically placed prior to gun barrels to prevent bacteria and provide iron control

4 Produced Water Cycle Wellhead to Reuse Well Pad Produced Water Pit Gathering System Tank Battery Oil/Water Separation

5 Produced Water Options Where are you getting your Produced Water Tank Battery Gun Barrel OWS Produced Water from tank batteries can have higher oil, iron and solids. Must consider this if recycling from this point Produced Water from Gun Barrels is generally better quality. Low oil, low solids and if oxidation is being used for bacteria control, low iron

6 Produced Water Options Typical Reuse Model Tank Battery Gun Barrel OWS

7 Produced Water Options Typical Reuse Model w/aeration Tank Battery Gun Barrel OWS

8 Aeration Background Air Driven Submersible or Floating Submersible better for oxidation and solids control Submersible include bubble tubing and diffuser type systems Floating only aerates the top few feet, leaving the remaining water to foul and bacteria to grow Systems must be sized based on water quality and oxygen demand Submersible Floating

9 Aeration: Produced Water Aeration Benefits Bacterial Control/Growth Inhibition Algae Control/Growth Inhibition Iron Control Sulfide Control Stratification Control Icing Inhibition Mixing / Homogenization Low Cost
