Abstract Produced water management policies in oil and gas industry have been moving towards zero emission, no ocean discharge waste-to-value conversion. reinjection plays a key role achieving these goals for mature fields as it derives value from produced is able to maintain environmental integrity. A central element this, optimal operation of pumping. Hydraulic efficiency specific energy are ...

The noncondensable gases in most geothermal resources include CO2 and smaller amounts of other gases. Currently, the worldwide power is a small sector within energy industry, emissions related to utilisation are consequently small. In some countries, however, such as Turkey Iceland, production contributes significantly their budget, relatively significant. SUCCEED targeted innovation research p...

We present the geological map (1:10.000) of Montecastelli Pisano area, where (i) relationships between Neogene-Quaternary transfer and normal faults have been carefully mapped (Sheet 1), (ii) mantle sequence Ligurian Ocean has analysed 2). Fault analyses allowed to define: NE-trending fault system (left-lateral strike- oblique-slip faults) belonging a shear zone; NW-trending faults. Their evolu...

We present a new experimental approach to further understand the injectivity impairment due reinjection of produced water in an oilfield, containing residual oil and solids. A unique microfluidic setup with imposed flowrate is characterized by excellent reproducibility allows one determine kinetics external cake formation propagation damage inside porous medium, similar what happens at injectio...

We investigate the relative importance of injection and production on spatial-temporal distribution induced seismicity at Raft River geothermal field. use time-series InSAR measurements to document surface deformation calibrate a hydro-mechanical model estimate effective stress changes imparted by production. Seismicity, located predominantly in basement, is primarily poroelastic stresses from ...
