The challenge is not only to find low price methods to reduce water handling costs and minimise environmental impact, but to also reflect the need for development of specific integrated engineering solutions. These are needed to effectively decrease unwanted water production, manage associated problems stemming from produced water, increase oil and gas production, and improve long-term hydrocarbon recovery.

Companies are actively trying to manage increasing quantities of water safely and economically whilst also exploring new management techniques and technologies on the market to optimize productivity and cut costs.

That is why Middle East oil and gas operators are realizing the importance of keeping up-to-date with alternative produced water monitoring, handling, treatment and disposal techniques that will maintain profitability, all showcased at the 3rd Annual Produced Water Management Summit
