A detailed analysis of the existing methods of cleaning and preparation of produced waters of oil and gas fields has been carried out and the most high-tech methods have been considered in detail. The prospects for the use of produced water as a technological reserve for increasing the efficiency of oil and gas field development are shown. It is noted that the methods of physico-chemical and mathematical modeling can be effectively used to improve the electromembrane technologies. At the same time, many theoretical questions require further, deeper study.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
