Can integrating life cycle assessment with optimization modeling identify strategies for produced water reuse in offshore oilfield explorations and production? Model development and testing
Produced water (PW) created at a rate of nearly four folds the raw oil extracted, constitutes the largest volume of wastewater generated in oil exploration and extraction processes, requiring sustainable management practices to mitigate associated environmental and economic impacts. This study develops an integrated Life Cycle Assessment (LCA)-optimization model that incorporates both economic and environmental aspects, including environmental externalities and reuse credits, to evaluate and compare disposal and reuse strategies for sustainable produced water (PW) management in offshore oilfield operations. The analysis demonstrates that existing common practices of conventional treatment, combined with offshore deep-well injection, exhibit the highest environmental footprint and economic burden. Advanced treatment, coupled with internal or external reuse strategies, emerged as the most competitive option only when environmental externalities and credits were considered. The study validates the proposed LCA-optimization modeling approach for identifying effective reuse strategies and corresponding benefits that enhance PW management in offshore oilfields. It equally highlights the significance of aligning economic incentives with environmental credits to develop sustainable strategies while mitigating associated environmental impacts.
期刊介绍:
Environmental Impact Assessment Review is an interdisciplinary journal that serves a global audience of practitioners, policymakers, and academics involved in assessing the environmental impact of policies, projects, processes, and products. The journal focuses on innovative theory and practice in environmental impact assessment (EIA). Papers are expected to present innovative ideas, be topical, and coherent. The journal emphasizes concepts, methods, techniques, approaches, and systems related to EIA theory and practice.
