The Ground Water Protection Council (GWPC) developed a report that examines current regulations, practices, and the research needed to expand the use of produced water, a byproduct of oil and gas production, as a resource. Led by its member states, the GWPC brought together a collaboration of scientists, regulatory officials, members of academia, the oil and gas industry, and environmental groups to explore roles produced water might play in developing greater water certainty.

​The selection of a natural gas pipeline filter is a simple task that is as easy as selecting a valve,flange gasket, or any other commodity product. Almost nothing could be further from the truth!

This webinar will describe the wax deposition and hydrate transport models chosen and the importance of its integration into a generic, but well proven multiphase transient simulator framework. The use and importance of these integrated flow assurance models will be briefly demonstrated through a field conceptual design application with results.

This presentation covers the life cycle issues around water management for the upstream industry, with a focus on tools, strategies and ideas on how to reduce risk, cost and liability.

​Deposition of inorganic and organic solids in production systems compromises throughput and can cause other operational and safety issues. Once formed, remediation of deposits is costly, often resulting in lost production. In this presentation, we evaluate the performance of a highly hydrophobic diamond like carbon (DLC) coating on deposition of common production system solids.

This talk will present different techniques developed to understand the asphaltene behavior and their associated assumptions, limitations and uncertainties.
