Reviewed Oil and Gas - Separation and Treatmt of Well Fluid Options

Following are a list of options that have been reviewed by pollution prevention specialists. These options have worked at other facilities and may work at yours.

 

Minimize the generation of blowdown.

  • Recycle back into production stream.
  • Operate cooling towers efficiently to minimize the generation of blowdown.
  • Cascade water use.
 

Minimize sand and scale production

  • Optimize production rate to minimize sand production.
  • Use uncontaminated sand as fill material.
  • Use scale inhibitors.
  • Avoid mixing incompatible produced waters, which results in scale.
 

Prevent soil contamination

  • Follow procedures, including maintenance, to prevent soil contamination.
  • Use impervious primary and secondary containment.
  • Use cathodic protection or coated pipe to reduce leaks due to corrosion.
 

Manage and reduce surplus chemicals

  • Accurately estimate amounts required, or purchase smaller quantities only as required.
  • Offer (or exchange) unused chemicals to other facilities in lieu of recycling, treatment, or disposal.
  • Use non-hazardous chemicals.
  • Store and maintain chemicals properly to prevent spills or leaks.
 

Manage Filters

  • Change filters only when necessary.
  • Use reusable filters.
  • Use differential pressure as an indicator of needed change.
  • When handling filters, take precautions to prevent oil spillage.
  • Isolate all drained fluids in re-sealable container for in-process recycling.
