Green Demulsifier Improved Fluids Separation for North Sea Operator

Baker Hughes improved water quality without compromising oil dehydration

A North Sea platform was subject to a DECC improvement order because of the high levels of oil in the produced water (1,000–4,000 ppm). The operator asked Baker Hughes for help in controlling the oil concentration in water discharged to the sea.

Following a consultation with the operator, Baker Hughes staff went to the platform and conducted initial bottle tests to screen Baker Petrolite TRETOLITE™ fluids separation products. After analyzing the test results, Baker Hughes recommended TRETOLITE™ DMO86761 demulsifi er for immediate fi eld trial. This demulsifi er was found to be the most cost-effective product available. It displayed improved water quality without compromising oil dehydration and did not overtreat at higher dosages.
