Upstream

Produced water is the largest waste stream in upstream oil and gas operations, and Danat Saudia provides high-performance treatment solutions to ensure safe discharge, reinjection, or reuse. We specialize in oil-water separation, removal of hydrocarbons, and dissolved contaminants, enabling enhanced oil recovery (EOR) while reducing environmental impact. Our cooling water treatment solutions optimize heat exchange efficiency, preventing fouling and equipment corrosion. We also support evaporation pond management, ensuring proper containment and treatment of produced water to prevent groundwater contamination. By deploying on-site treatment units, we help upstream operations stay compliant, reduce disposal costs, and maximize water recovery.

Applications & Case Studies - Upstream

    • Successfully deployed internationally in Kuwait, USA, Oman and trialling in Saudi Arabia

    • Ability to recover 95-98% of the oil from contaminated water

    • Potential to improve recoveries by improving the quality of the water used for reinjection

    • No chemicals used, potential to use existing infrastructure with a drop-in replacement media

    • Deployed in 6 facilities in Jubail to handle removal (and recovery) of Oil from Petrochemical plants

    • Ability to recover 95+% of the oil from contaminated water

    • Potential to turn waste into worth – by then selling on the recovered oil

    • Ability to reach target specs for the end user down to <1ppm if required

    • Flow rates have ranged from batch treatment to 5m3/hr to 250m3/hr

    • Successfully used in Gulf of Mexico, Nigeria and Malaysia

    • Ensures customers meet stringent discharge regulations or lower internal targets 

    • Easy to use and minimal footprint and weight for system

    • No chemicals used, potential to use existing infrastructure with a drop-in replacement media

    • Ensure no oily sheen on Evap Ponds to meet regulations and increase evaporative rates

    • Enables quicker turnovers of evap ponds which in turn allows greater productivity

    • Ponds will meet RCER or MRWN Requirements

    • Potential to recover the 98% of the Oil in Water and ensure effluent of <10ppm

    • Danat Saudia is able to ensure compliance with air emissions due to hazardous gas releases from processes or upsets

    • Variety of options based on the contamination type and the duration of the project

    • Solutions include cutting edge technology from Europe and Australia

    • Presence of Mercury can lead to embrittlement of plant infrastructure

    • Mercury can be present in both Aerosolised as well as Aqueous Form

    • Conventional technology is often unable to remove aerosolised form of mercury and it can overwhelm treatment systems

    • Mersep technology is able to reduce aerosolised mercury significantly and retrofit existing systems
