Due to the increased interest in ways to better manage water resources in the oil and gas industry, a new sector of water treatment has arisen offering innovative ways to treat and reuse highly variable quality water.

Methods in use in oilfield water treatments today to reduce TOC include chemical and electrochemical oxidation, aeration-enhanced aerobic digestion and activated-carbon filtration. Left untreated where high levels of TOC are present, the regrowth potential for bacteria is great.

Rockwater Energy Solutions mobilized their Fluids Conditioning team, complete with patent-pending electro-oxidation technology and water chemistry experts to treating water to a level compatible with a borate crosslinked frac fluid, managing the degree of variability in the produced water, and maintaining reasonable economic benefits.

Rockwater utilized source water samples for a complete FluidMatch™ analysis in order to optimize the friction reducer performance for a customer in the Powder River basin. This improved performance at a lower concentration allowed Rockwater to reduce the customer’s overall fluid costs.

Scale problems were causing exorbitant stripping costs and interrupting production. After a 2-day process, Rockwater returned the well to production with gas production up 160% and oil production up 336%.

Rockwater provided the analysis, service and products that made this gas well in the Permian Basin pay out in less than 12 hours. The well continues to pump at levels exceeding previous levels. Rockwater products used: GasPlus gas production enhancer and AF-5020 multifunctional foamer.
