Title: Technology Assessment: Pilot Testing: Pretreatment Options to Allow Re-Use of Frac Flowback and Produced Brine for Gas Shale Resource Development
Project Number: DE-FE0000847
From: David B. Burnett, Harold Vance Department of Petroleum Engineering, Texas A&M University
To: Mr. John Terneus, Project Manager
Enclosed is our Project Technology Assessment as required by your office as part of our funded project. The goal of the project is to identify a reliable and cost-effective pre-treatment methodology for use in processes employed to treat and re-use field-produced brine and fracture flowback waters. The project aims to develop a mobile, multifunctional water treatment specifically for “pre-treatment” of field waste brine and conduct field tests of the technology.
