Water treatment programs prevent fouling and corrosion during mill-out operations

摘要

While most of the water treatment in today s oilfield operations focuses on hydraulic fracturing,water also plays a significant role in post-frac operations.The water used in mill-out or drill-out operations— the process of removing plugs that were placed during hydraulic fracturing operations— is often left untreated.Unlike frac operations,limited-to-no testing is being performed to determine optimal water quality or disinfection treatments for these operations.
