Field Test Kit for Characterizing Oil-Brine Effluents from Offshore Drilling Platforms

摘要

This research program was initiated to evaluate test methods for characterizing oil-brine effluents from offshore oil production platforms and to package and deliver a field test kit for on-site oil-brine analyses. After an initial laboratory evaluation and selection of test methods and equipment, two on-site oil-brine analyses of production water were conducted in Kenai, Alaska--one at the AMACO Dillon Offshore Production Platform, and the other at the Shell MGS Joint Onshore Facility. This report describes the methods developed for the field test site, including detailed procedures for conducting each test method, and the results from the two on-site analyses.
