Just a query about chloride levels reported for produced water
(formation water) from different sources.
Source-1: 1700 mg/L
Source-2: 80,000 mg/L
Source-3: 1,17,000 mg/L
1. There is order of magnitude in difference in chloride levels in
the various sources above. Can someone from comment/advise on wide difference in the values reported? Is it something to do with method of analysis / units?
2. Any guess value for chloride levels in separator gas. As you are aware process simulations does not help to provide such information?
3. In some cases, it is reported in terms formation water and the
values reported are much higher than produced water. Question is whether produced or formation water are not same?
