| Issue your research will address |
Produced water, despite containing valuable resources, presents a significant environmental threat when not properly managed. Currently, the industry employs various techniques for managing produced water, with treatment and re-injection being two prominent options. However, a comprehensive economic evaluation comparing these approaches is lacking. This research aims to fill this gap by conducting a thorough economic analysis to identify the most cost-effective and sustainable method for produced water management. |
| What your research will uncover |
The proposed research seeks to address a critical gap in the understanding of the economic implications of produced water treatment and re-injection. By conducting a thorough analysis, this study aims to provide valuable insights that can guide industry practices towards more sustainable and economically viable solutions for managing produced water |
| Benifits of your research for others |
This research will contribute to both academic and industry understanding of produced water management by providing a comprehensive economic analysis. The findings will aid industry decision-makers in selecting the most cost-effective and sustainable approach, promoting environmentally responsible practices. Additionally, the research will inform policymakers and regulators, contributing to the development of guidelines for produced water management in the oil and gas industry. |
