Global Water Shortage Will See More Emphasis On Produced Water Generation
With oil reserves decreasing time, Dr. Gede Wenten, Professor at the Institute of Teknologi in Bandung Indonesia believes that oil production will be depleted while produced water generation will rapidly increase.
Online, March 31, 2011 (Newswire.com) - "Considering water shortage as global yet unavoidable matter, the option of produced water re - use could be alternative solution in the future," he said.
And he's not the only one, Hani Youssef Argalious, Middle East & North Africa Business Manager for Merpro believes that despite recent successes in utilizing treated produced water for irrigation and industrial use, the reclamation of produced water can be developed further and made more economic especially as drinking water continues to be one of the world's biggest concerns.
"The drastic increase in sheer produced water volume necessitates a continued research effort to achieve simple yet effective methodologies for the future. Oil and Gas can ironically be called by-products of produced water production," said Argalious.
Dr. Wenten will be speaking at the Produced Water Treatment 2011, which is dedicated to help E&P companies address the strategic and technical challenges in treating and re-using produced formation water from oil, gas and CBM fields.
At Produced Water Treatment 2011, you will meet experts from regional and global E&P companies such as Petronas, Chevron, Petron and Shell, as well as leading R&D organizations that are developing cutting edge technologies for produced water treatment and re-use and for improved EOR. Their technical sessions will you to discover how you can effectively manage your produced water to transform it from a liability to an asset.
