Produced Water & Re-Use

Solutions

What are we solving?

Treating and reusing Wastewater & Produced Water has the effect of coping with the global UN SDGs for water sustainability of clean water accessibility and reducing water stresses. Messaben focuses on serving many industries with water sustainability solutions. In addition to cleaning produced water for re-use, these solutions contribute to lowering carbon emissions by reducing electricity consumption of discharge pumps, injection pumps, water transfer pumps and numerous associated transportation costs.

Our technology can treat and remove most of the contamination and impurities from produced water not limited to TSS, Boron, Bacteria SRB/APB, Dissolved Gases / H2S, Sulphate, Phosphate, Oil & Grease, Organics BODs and CODs, Iron and Hardness. Whereas even TDS is reduced depending on the concentration of divalent and trivalent salts.

THE DOUBLE EFFECT OF REUSING TREATED WASTEWATER & CO2 EMISSIONS REDUCTION

Human activities are estimated to have caused approximately 1.0°C of global warming above pre-industrial levels, with a likely range of 0.8°C to 1.2°C. Global warming is likely to reach 1.5°C between 2030 and 2052 if it continues to increase at the current rate. When we consider produced water from just the oil and gas industry, the best available treatment technologies still provide only limited
performance.

CASE # 1: Fort St. John, BC, Canada. Frac Flowback Water

Messaben conducted a Hydro-Pod™ lab study on frac flowback water for a client at their ponds north of Fort St. John, BC. The water was tested and shown to have a reduced ability to form scaling compounds that are detrimental to the effectiveness of the frac fluid, such as CaCO3 and SrSO4.

CASE # 2: Oilfield Wastewater is turned into a re-useable resource!

Messaben conducted a Hydro-Pod™ field study on produced water for a client from Lauredo. The challenge was to treat produced water that contained a heavy oil emulsion for reuse on the client’s site.

Solutions

DOWNHOLE DRILLING & INTERVENTION

All-Metal downhole products have a direct effect on accelerating the rate of drilling and intervention, thus reducing rig drilling time and intervention time. This automatically reduces cost per well and reduces daily rig emissions of CO2 through the onsite power equipment and generators. An additional benefit of the All-Metal downhole tools is the usage in geothermal drilling, which enhances renewable energy accessibility for high-temperature steam geothermal wells.

Used in both oil & gas drilling, completions, and geothermal drilling applications, HSRT's "reduce the daily drilling well operations time and associated emissions".

CASE # 1: Stacking Up the 9-5/8” and 7” HSRT’s in Egypt

InFocus saw a milestone run in Egypt, beginning with a 9 5/8” HSRT and completing the second section with a 7” size! The HSRT was designed to ream and clean out wellbores, land casing on bottom and be cemented in place so operators can drill through the nose of the HSRT and continue drilling the next section. Each HSRT size is also designed to allow a smaller HSRT to run secondary casing or liners, repeating the cleanout and cementing process.

9 5/8” Section

Casing Size / Type: 9 5/8” casing
Total Depth: 10012 feet

Section Challenges

Obstructions were faced while pulling the drilling BHA out of hole; then failure to log to TD using the drill string. All of this assured the creation of ledges and hole obstructions while running the casing. Driller activated the HSRT on several occasions to overcome all the ledges and tight spots despite encountering slack-off weights up to 40 KLBs in some depths. Casing at the programmed TD, and the HRST successfully without any problem in 45-60 minutes, compared to hours needed by other types of reamers.

7” Section

Casing Size / Type: 7” liner
Total Depth: 12426 feet

Section Challenges

High risk of differential sticking. Faced several obstructions while running the 7” liner inside the 9 5/8” casing at 7397, 7711 and 7944 ft depths. Passed obstructions by washing down, reaming down.

Conclusion

The InFocus HSRT: Hi-Speed Reaming Tool proved its ability in overcoming all obstructions faced while running in hole. The HSRT allowed the casing to reach the programmed TD without any problem, at minimal cost and with zero rig non-productive time.

CASE # 2: Another World First! Hi-Speed Triple Combo in South America

An operator in Colombia for ran an InFocus 9 5/8” HSRT, then a 7”, and finally a 4 1/2” size all in the same wellbore! The complexity of this project created the need for the type of assurance the HSRT tools provide. This well was designated as “ST-2” meaning there were two sidetracks, and the first two sections drilled (12-1/4” cased using a 9-5/8” HSRT, and an 8-1/2” cased with a 7” HSRT) were meant to separate and isolate the water sources. Final deviation was 96 degrees; at that angle it is difficult to move a casing string.

Conclusion

Each time the pumps were stopped, the weight-on-bit (WOB) increased, therefore the 4.50” HSRT was very much needed to clear the way to case the final well section.

The InFocus family of HSRT: Hi-Speed Reaming Tools proved their ability in overcoming all obstructions faced while running in hole, allowing casing to reach the programmed TD without any problem, at minimal cost and with zero rig non-productive time.
