Microbial Capacitive Desalination Cell could make treatment and reuse of oil and gas wastewater simpler, cheaper

Green Car Congress

Oil and gas operations in the United States produce about 21 billion barrels of wastewater per year, with accompanying disposal costs of about $5 billion per year. The saltiness of the water and the organic contaminants it contains have traditionally made treatment difficult and expensive. 1 activated carbon cloth (ACC) was harvested.

DOE-sponsored study concludes billions of barrels of oil potentially recoverable from residual oil zones in US

Green Car Congress

Residual oil zones (ROZs), are areas of immobile oil found below the oil-water contact of a reservoir. ROZs are similar to reservoirs in the mature stage of waterflooding, in which water has been injected into a formation to sweep oil toward a production well.
