What is Produced Water?

Produced water is any water that is conveyed to the surface from an oil or gas reservoir during oil and gas production. This water will be from one or more of the following sources: > Connate water which is present in the reservoir prior to production > Condensed water which is condensed from the produced […]

Understanding Chemistry of Clear Brine Fluids … Best Performance

Selecting a Clear Brine Fluid (CBF) for deepwater completion is-or at least should be-a complex process. Impaired production experiences are caused by localized corrosion, stress crack failures of tubing metallurgy or by formation damage, as fluids react chemically with production gases or fluid additives. Besides technical complexity, economics drives operators to seek a thorough understanding […]
