H2prO HD Water Treatment Service Treated Waste Water for Reuse
Case History
H2prO HD Water Treatment Service Treated Waste Water for Reuse Solution reduced operating expenses by 30%
Benefits Baker
Hughes solution reduced overall operating expense by 30% by eliminating cost of fresh water and trucking and disposal of waste water
Treated
water used successfully in fracturing fluid
Reduced
freshwater demand by 25%
Background and Challenges To
reduce disposal costs and minimize freshwater usage, operator wanted to treat waste water for reuse in fracturing jobs
Waste
water contained hydrogen sulfide and bacteria
Baker Hughes Solution and Results Analyzed
the waste water to determine the most effective water treatment solution
Recommended
the H2prO HD Water Management Service, which uses chlorine dioxide (CIO2) green chemistry technology to neutralize H2S and bacteria in waste water
Baker
Hughes treated 3,400 bbl (405 m3) of water, which was successfully used in a fracturing formulation
Two
stages were fractured using 100% treated waste water
During a recent hydraulic fracturing program in the Permian Basin, the operator was interested in reusing produced water to offset the expense of sourcing and trucking freshwater for use in hydraulic fracturing fluid and by eliminating the need for transporting and disposing of waste water. The hydraulic fracturing job consisted of nine stages, requiring more than 1,300 bbl (155 m3) per stage.
The H2prO HD system uses chlorine dioxide (CIO2) green chemistry to neutralize bacteria, hydrogen sulfide (H2S), iron sulfide, phenols, mercaptans, and polymers. Following an H2prO HD treatment, the water can be reused with no negative impact to the producing formation or to downhole equipment, and residual hydrocarbons can be recovered from the wastewater.
Baker Hughes recommended a water treatment solution to facilitate use of onsite produced water in the fracturing fluids. We conducted pretreatment water analysis to determine water characteristics. Both the influent and effluent water samples contained high concentrations of hydrogen sulfide (H2S) and organics. Based on these findings, we recommended our H2prO™ HD Water Management Service to neutralize the H2S and bacteria.
The H2prO HD system treated 3,400 bbl (405 m3) of water, which was successfully used in the polymer-based, cross-linked hydraulic fracturing fluid. Post-job analysis confirmed the treatment was more than sufficient, using 100% of the treated water with no dilution for the job design. By eliminating freshwater and disposal costs, Baker Hughes reduced the operator’s overall operating expenses for the project by 30%.
