Characterization of Produced Waters from Natural Gas Production Operations. Volume 2. Appendix E. Analytical Data Report

摘要

The report presents the results of a nationwide characterization program for produced waters from non-associated natural gas production operations. The impetus for the program was the sparsity of existing comprehensive data publicly available on the characteristics and management practices for these production waters. In all, 17 produced water samples from 16 different sites were collected and analyzed. The analytical methods used and parameters tested in the program paralleled those used in EPA's E&P Waste Study and the API's Production Waste Study.
