What is Produced Water?
Produced water is a byproduct brought to the surface during oil and gas exploration and production. Sometimes it is called formation water, brine, or saltwater. It is typically brackish and comes from underground formations, either from zones adjacent to the oil and gas, or from the same zone as the hydrocarbons. In some oil and gas operations, the produced water results from injecting clean ...
