Produced water (PW) is considered to be the largest source of industrial wastewater associated with oil and gas extraction operations for production. It a mixture organic inorganic compounds that has high complexity in terms various characteristics. Globally, volume PW increasing along expansion fields, leading major impacts on environment. Existing treatment technologies involve partially treating through removing suspended solids, heavy metals, without components re-injecting underground using disposal injection wells. The process consists primary unit remove particles, followed secondary biological or chemical processing treatment, while final stage involves use tertiary improve quality remainder undesired components. Moreover, one available options utilized as source, no alternate advanced commercial scale are at present due limitations existing technologies, their maintainability, sustainability, cost, level improvement. As such, research focused finding an optimal approach overall continues conducted, aim reusing instead injecting it underground. This literature review discusses latest aimed full stream capacity eliminating need via injection. concluded researchers should focus hybrid order pollutants from PW, effectively allowing its reuse.

Abstract Produced water is naturally occurring that produced as a byproduct during the exploration and production of oil natural gas from subsurface system. brought to surface contains high saline content may also contain Naturally Occurring Radioactive Material (NORM). Therefore, efficient treatment, use, disposal remain critical issue for energy industry with environmental human health implications. Over years, researchers have presented numerous treatment technologies ranging physical, chemical, biological perspectives. Some industries combined one or two these methods improve quality required distinct purposes, practices been extended industry. As strives sustain capacities maintain increase profitability in this energy-transition era, rising while there reduction its re-purposing utilization industries. Our study focuses on over 100 studies conducted past five decades. This presents comprehensive overview methods, challenges regarding execution implementation We highlight important fundamental questions are yet be addressed propose new directions more environmentally friendly economically viable solutions use water.
