A Science-Based Approach to Chemical Water Treatment
Oilfield bacteria are present everywhere water can be found. If left untreated, bacteria populations can be injected downhole where they will survive and thrive, resulting in microbial proliferation and biofilm build-up. This leads to well plugging, reduced flow, reduced recovery, and reduced production.
When it comes to water treatment, there are no one size fits all solutions. We will let the science and data help us arrive at the correct solution. We are always willing to use different chemicals and adjust our equipment to deliver the correct solution. Keeping an open mind and coming up with new ideas is key.
An example of chemicals used include:
Oxidizers
- Oxidizes the water
- Improves water quality
- Reacts with contaminants such as H2S
- Drop/Floc suspended solids out of the water
- Some oxidizers act as biocides as well
Scale Inhibitors
- Prevent scale from forming and falling out of the water
- Prevent scale build up in wells and pipes
Traditional and Long-Term Biocides
- Kills bacteria in water
Other chemicals
- Friction reducers
- Surfactants
- Flocculants
Ensuring a safe job site
- All units have three safety shutdowns and a built-in redundancy system
- Effluent stream of water transfer lines is tested after the point of chemical injection
- Continuous automatic ORP monitoring during treatment to determine the required injection of ClO2
- Our technicians trend output data that can be seen in real-time by oil and gas operators
Customizable Reports
- Pre and post ORP reading
- Residual readings
- Pre and post pH levels
- Chemical treatment rates
- Barrels per minute rate
- Barrels per stage and total BBLs
