Produced Water Management

Background:
Produced water merupakan fluida dengan volume terbesar yang dihasilkan dalam operasi minyak dan gas. Seiring meningkatnya usia lapangan, rasio produced water terhadap hydrocarbon cenderung meningkat dan menimbulkan tantangan teknis, lingkungan, serta biaya operasi yang signifikan. Dengan demikian Produced Water Management menjadi isu teknis, lingkungan, dan ekonomi yang kritikal.
Pengelolaan produced water yang efektif membutuhkan pemahaman terintegrasi mulai dari karakteristik fluida, teknologi pengolahan, hingga strategi pembuangan atau pemanfaatan ulang seperti reinjection. Yang paling penting justru untuk memastikan re-injection tidak mengakibatkan formation damage. Pelatihan ini dirancang untuk membekali peserta dengan pemahaman praktis dan teknis agar mampu mengelola produced water secara aman, efisien, dan sesuai regulasi.
Objectives:
• Memahami karakteristik dan sumber produced water pada operasi migas
• Mengidentifikasi tantangan operasional dan risiko lingkungan produced water
• Menjelaskan teknologi pengolahan produced water sesuai tujuan pengelolaan
• Memahami konsep dan persyaratan produced water reinjection
• Mengevaluasi strategi produced water management yang efektif dan berkelanjutan
• Mendukung kepatuhan terhadap regulasi lingkungan dan internal company standard
Recommended Participants:
• Production Engineer
• Process Engineer
• Facility Engineer
• Reservoir Engineer
• Operation & Maintenance Supervisor
• HSE Engineer
