| Title: |
Technology to better remove dispersed and dissolved hydrocarbons from produced water |
| Text: |
"The CTour Process System enhances the traditional hydrocyclone technology. It uses gas condensate to extract hydrocarbons from water. The condensate is injected into the produced water stream before being routed through existing hydrocyclone systems. The condensate functions as a solvent, which draws dissolved hydrocarbons out of the water phase and over into the condensate. In addition, the condensate helps to coalesce the small dispersed oil droplets, which then form larger oil droplets before being removed in the hydrocyclones. The CTour Process system is capable of removing many of the dissolved organics from the produced water" [see Supplemental Documents for technology brochure] |

| BMP Efficacy: |
“By early 2007, when several new systems are commissioned, the CTour technology will be used to treat 1.7 MMb/d of produced water - the equivalent of two-thirds of all projected produced water discharges in the Norwegian sector at that time.†|
