Produced water can be described as a mixture of organic and several inorganic components that exist in oil & gas reservoirs. Water produced this way is acidic and needs to be treated before it is discharged into river streams or while employing it for reinjection in oil & gas extraction sites.Freshwater usage has increased significantly, owing to the ever-growing population across the globe. Prolonged discharge of oil-contained water is polluting existing resources. This is expected to lead to scarcity of fresh water shortly.
Governments of several countries have enacted stringent regulations on environmental practices by imposing discharge norms regarding oil concentration levels in discharged streams.Water acts as a pushing agent for oil & gas (helping oil & gas rise to the surface). Produced water needs to be treated and reused to increase productivity for extracting oil & gas from the well. Various water treatment methods have been introduced due to an increase in the productivity of oil & gas and stringent government norms to control the discharge of produced water directly.Demand for produced water treatment is high in countries experiencing a scarcity of freshwater.
Asia Pacific experiences greater water scarcity problems; therefore, the adoption rate of water treatment methods is considerably high in major countries, such as China and India, to deal with water scarcity.More than 60% of produced water comes from oilfields. Reusing produced water for reinjection in onshore and offshore operations is expected to propel the produced water treatment market CAGR during the forecast period.
Additionally, increase in environmental policies and the growing concern for the water table in the Region with the scarcity of fresh water like China and India, the produced water treatment market is expected to swell in the upcoming years. With the extensive shale discoveries in the North American Region for which the water treatment services are of keen importance, the market is expected to soar in the forecasted years. The produced water treatment market is estimated to increase the Produced Water Treatment market revenue in the forecast period.
The Produced Water Treatment market segmentation, based on well type, includes land and offshore. The offshore segment dominated the market; prominent market players, including Siemens, focus on secondary and advanced treatment technologies for minimizing the discharge and oil spills in surrounding water bodies in the offshore sector. This favorable scenario promotes the application of management services.
Based on Treatment, the Produced Water Treatment market segmentation includes chemical, physical, and membrane. The physical segment dominated the market. The physical treatments are used in filtration and flotation and are cost-effective for removing large-sized particles and hydrocarbons from produced water.This produced water treatment services widely used by industries across the globe. At the same time, the membrane segment is the fastest-growing method in the forecast period. This is due to the increasing demand for advanced membrane technologies.
