PWSS 2020 – Training Workshop

PRODUCED WATER SOCIETY TRAINING

Fundamentals of Water Treating, Handling and Management

12:00 – 5:00, February 11th

Co-located at the 2020 Produced Water Society Seminar

TRAINING (February 11 2020) – DAY 1 (February 12 2020) – DAY 2 (February 13 2020)

This training course is designed to provide a baseline of knowledge pertinent to water management, challenges and opportunities in shale field development with an emphasis on the Permian Basin.

INSTRUCTORS:
John Walsh, Worley
Lisa Henthorne, Water Standard
Morris Hoagland, Jade Dragon
Dustin Brownlow, Antelope Water Management

This course will have 4 modules. The first and last will consist of overview level information, while the second and third modules will present deep dives on development lifecycles and water management lifecycles from production through to disposal, reuse or trading. The course will offer a foundations-level knowledge of water chemistry applicable to produced water management..

This course will answer the following:

  • What are the challenges?
  • Where do opportunities lie?
  • What are the volumes of water at play and what’s required to move them?
  • What are the differences between water reuse treatment options?
  • What should we expect for the future of the region?

Participants will leave with an understanding of common terminology and jargon, water chemistry and how treatment works (via jar testing demonstrations), best practices for water handling and management in unconventional plays.

Workshop Agenda

12:00-1:30

Networking Lunch
