CFAST Environmental Services utilizes its Contained Filtration and Separation Technology or CFAST System to help oil and gas producers resolve a host of potential issues with acid flowbacks, completion fluid flowbacks and other problematic produced water streams. CFAST ES is able to prevent upsets and protect our customer’s equipment during the flowback, and upon completion, quickly restoring production to the platform. The CFAST System produces overboard quality water which meets all NPDES guidelines while at the same time returning pipeline quality oil to the customer.
FLOW-BACK FLUIDS FROM WELL COMPLETIONS AND INTERVENTIONS ARE OFTEN ACIDIC AND CAN:
· Upset normal production fluid separation processes
· Create surfactant stabilized emulsions in the oil phase causing
off-spec penalties in the sales oil
· Entrain hydrocarbons into the water phase creating low
pH reverse emulsions
· Accelerate corrosion in production vessels and pipelines
To avoid these potential problems, many operators have chosen to isolate these fluids during the unloading exercises and process them separately from the normal production operations. With the CFAST System process it is possible to economically treat flow-back fluids and achieve clean water for discharge and acceptable oil for sales without adding to the operator’s waste liability.
