摘要

http://dx.doi.org/10.5902/223611705715 This work presents a survey of opportunities for cleaner production applied to waterused in the processes of exploration and production of oil on shore. The study consisted ofliterature review and investigative forays in the region of the state of Rio Grande do Norte.Opportunities arose in the following order of priority: eliminating at source, minimizing theconsumption, recycling or reuse internal or external, treatment and final disposal. The resultspoint to projects associated with the reduction of leaks in water pumping systems for theformulation of captured fluids, reduction of leakage of steam, use of brackish / saline uptake fromdeeper wells to replace the fresh water wells to capture ; use / reuse (external) water drains,replacing the freshwater abstracted and used for injection, use of ocean water (captured from thesea) in replacement of freshwater abstracted for the purpose of secondary recovery; adoption ofequipment / system increase in oil resources DOWS - Downhole Oil Water Separation and greaterautomation system with the use of "smart wells and fields."
