Fundamental and Practical Aspects of Produced Water Treating - PF-23 |
Discipline: Process Facilities Level: Foundation Duration: 5 days Instructor(s): Theodore (Ted) Frankiewicz |
This course covers topics related to Produced Water Treatment in upstream oil and gas operations. Produced water composition and physical properties are covered. Water quality requirements for various disposal methods are addressed, including onshore surface discharge, offshore discharge to sea, and reinjection for disposal or waterflood. Regulatory requirements and analytical methods used to monitor and ensure regulatory compliance are discussed. Treatment technology is presented along with practical considerations for selecting and operating typical water treatment equipment. Representative process flow diagrams illustrate equipment selection, design features, layout, and processes. Chemical treatment options are also considered. "Entire course was full of useful information that can be easily translated to the field." - Facilities Engineer, United States "It was a great course! Sizing of 3-phase separators as well as all of the example problems. So practical!" - Process Engineer, United States |
Designed For: Managers, engineers, chemists, and senior operations personnel responsible for designing, operating, and maintaining facilities that process and manage produced water. This course will provide participants with an understanding of the technical aspects required to select, design, maintain, and troubleshoot produced water equipment. |

Instructors: DR. TED FRANKIEWICZ has over 30 years of experience in the oil industry with Occidental Petroleum, Unocal Corp., Natco Group (now Cameron), and currently, SPEC Services, Inc. He has a Ph.D. in Physical Chemistry from the University of Chicago, holds 15 patents, and has authored over 25 professional publications. At Unocal, he was responsible for developing the water treatment systems, which were installed in the Gulf of Thailand to remove mercury and arsenic as well as residual oil from the produced water. At Natco Group he developed an effective vertical column flotation vessel design and used CFD to diagnose problems with existing water treatment equipment as well as to design new equipment. He was an SPE Distinguished Lecturer on Produced Water Treatment in 2009-10, and serves on the SPE Steering Committee for their Global Workshop Series on Water Treatment. His field/operational experience in oilfield chemistry, design of process equipment, and the development of process systems has provided him with unique insights into the issues that challenge operators as their water production and water treatment complexity and cost escalates over time.
