Advanced Technical Strategies for Cost-Effective, Sustainable Produced Water Systems
This intensive 5-day programme equips engineers and chemists with the latest technical and operational approaches for managing produced water in upstream oil and gas operations. Blending fundamental theory with hands-on applications, the course covers water chemistry, scaling and corrosion mechanisms, separation technologies, and advanced treatment methods including membranes, electrocoagulation, and zero liquid discharge (ZLD). Participants gain practical experience using industry software such as ScaleChem and OLI Studio for scaling and corrosion prediction, alongside real-world case studies in emulsion treatment, fouling mitigation, and injection well compatibility. The programme also explores emerging innovations—including AI-driven monitoring, nanomaterials, and bio-treatment—while addressing regulatory compliance and environmental best practices to optimise produced water systems for sustainable operations.
Why this course is important
Produced water management is one of the most technically demanding and operationally critical challenges in upstream operations. Scaling, corrosion, emulsions, microbiological risks, and tightening environmental requirements all directly impact asset integrity, production efficiency, and operating costs. This course develops the capability to diagnose and solve these problems using structured chemical understanding, separation theory, and advanced treatment technologies. With strong emphasis on modelling tools, reinjection quality, residuals management, and future monitoring trends, participants gain practical skills to reduce fouling, improve water reuse, ensure regulatory compliance, and design cost-effective, sustainable water management strategies across field and laboratory environments.
Who should attend
This course is ideal for:
- Process and Chemical Engineers
- Production and Operations Engineers
- Chemists and Laboratory Technicians
- Environmental Specialists
- Water Treatment Service Providers
What you will learn
Across five highly practical days, participants will develop expertise in:
- Produced water chemistry, sampling protocols, QA/QC, and water composition analysis
- Scaling mechanisms (CaCO₃, BaSO₄), corrosion control (CO₂/H₂S), chemical inhibition, and microbiology risks
- Environmental compliance including discharge, reinjection, and ZLD approaches
- Emulsion science, demulsifier selection, gravity separation, API separators, plate coalescers, and hydrocyclones
- Software modelling using ScaleChem for scaling prediction and analysis of field vs model performance
- Gas flotation, media filtration, membranes (RO/NF), ion exchange, and thermal treatment methods
- ZLD economics, fouling mitigation, and energy efficiency considerations
- Reinjection water quality, geochemical compatibility studies, suspended solids control, and downhole oil/water separation
- Chemical residual toxicity, reservoir souring case studies, and filtration technologies
- Disposal and reuse strategies, real-time monitoring sensors, and future trends including nanomaterials and bio-treatment
Participants are taught by a highly experienced chemical engineering consultant with over 30 years of refinery technology, operations, and management expertise, delivering applied learning grounded in real operational environments.
