采出水处理工艺的选择目标是降低对环境的影响。当需要维持压力时回注采出水是应用很广泛的一种常用方法。新的采出水处理工艺旨在降低向海洋的排放量。采出水中影响环境的主要成分是脂肪族烃、重多环芳烃(PAH)化合物、烷化苯酚和其余的一些化学生产品。在挪威国家石油公司的一些油田中,防腐剂和硫化氢净化剂是影响环境的主要因素。 The goal of the production process is to reduce the impact on the environment. Re-injection of produced water when pressure needs to be maintained is a widely used method. The new production water treatment process aims to reduce emissions to the oceans. The major components that affect the environment in the production water are aliphatic hydrocarbons, heavy polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAH) compounds, alkylated phenols and the rest of chemical products. In some oil fields in the Norwegian National Oil Company, preservatives and hydrogen sulfide detergents are the main factors affecting the environment.
