Produced water is mainly salty water trapped in the reservoir rock and brought up along with oil or gas during production. Almost all offshore oilfields produce large quantities of contaminated water that can have significant environmental effects if not handled properly. Over the life of a well, the volume of water produced will exceed the volume of oil by a factor of 3-6 times. Since produced water has no commercial value, operators must find a way to treat relatively large amounts of water at the lowest possible cost. Packed with over 500 tables, figures, and equations, the objective of

Produced Water:  Environmental Risks and Advances in Mitigation Technologies The discharge of produced water from offshore oil and gas facilities remains an environmental concern due to uncertainty regarding its fate, transport and potential biological effects. This book of peer-reviewed papers from active scientific practitioners around the globe, provides an overview of current knowledge and emerging issues of concern related to the discharge of produced water at sea.  Topics covered include:   Chemical composition and characterization of constituents Analytical procedures for determination the composition and characterization of constituents Identification of biological effects Environmental effects monitoring (EEM) protocols Biodegradation and bioaccumulation Modeling of fate, transport, potential effects and environmental risk Advances in mitigation technologies Policies and regulations for treatment and disposal   This book will be of use to scientists, environmental managers, regulators, and industry representatives, as well as members of the public wishing to gain an improved knowledge on the discharge of produced water from offshore oil and gas facilities for the protection of our ocean environment and its resources.
