Abstract

[Truncated] The Petroleum industry is responsible for a wide range of discharges into the environment. One of the largest in volume from production facilities is produced formation water. The composition of this water varies from location to location, and requires detailed understanding to ensure minimal pressures will be placed on the environment.
This investigation into produced formation water commenced with the goal of identifying and quantitating production additives in the produced water. As the study progressed it was realized that the only regulated area of the produced water, the hydrocarbon content, was also in need of being addressed.
The following thesis presents the series of experiments that looked at addressing these issues. In the analysis of the hydrocarbon content in the produced water, several solid phase extraction techniques were investigated, and a robust, simple method determined in combination with supercritical fluid extraction.
