oil by 10%.

OriginClear
Inc.
(OTCQB: OOIL),
a leading provider of water treatment solutions, today announced
OriginClear’s proprietary electro-oxidation technology effectively
removes 96 percent of bacteria and 97 percent of hydrogen sulfide
(H2S) from produced water, without chemicals. Results
were reported after lab and field testing on produced water from
the Eagle Ford shale using OriginClear’s new Electro-Oxidation (EO)
Toolkit.
Cost and water
scarcity are driving operators to reinject produced and frack
flowback water into wells. If this water goes untreated, bacteria
can grow and can create health and safety issues. It can also
generate H2S that “sours” well formations.
Crude oil can lose 10 percent of
its value if it sours.
“We’ve found that
certain components of our multi-stage EWS process can address
specific water treatment requirements out on the oilfield,”
said Lee
Portillo,
OriginClear’s VP of Engineering. “In this case, we used our final
electro-oxidation stage to target bacteria and hydrogen sulfide
reduction in produced water.
“This is normally a
chemically-intensive process and we achieved a significant
elimination of contaminants without any chemicals. We believe our
technology offers a pathway for reducing the cost of treating
produced water.”
“I believe
OriginClear’s recent results in treating produced water for
bacteria and hydrogen sulfide are a significant step in cost
reduction,” said R. Gerald Bailey
PhD, CEO of
MCW Energy Group and former President of Exxon for the Arabian
Gulf. “The effect of bacteria and hydrogen sulfide has long been an
expensive nuisance in oil field operations. They have been costly
to remove and it has caused severe loss of revenue by reduced
production. The OriginClear Toolkit technology is a welcome
improvement.”
OriginClear’s
Electro-Oxidation (EO) Toolkit is available for licensing and to
end-users interested in showcase applications. Inquiries should be

According to research
paper Controlling Bacteria in Recycled
Production Water for Completion and Workover
Operations, “Reusing flowback water and
produced water from active wells becomes more and more important…
to keep surface water disposal costs… to a minimum… However,
reusing untreated produced and flowback water… can promote bacteria
growth both above and below ground…[and] will not only lead to
Health and Safety (H&S) concerns due to increased sour gas or
hydrogen sulfide (H2S) production but also to a slow souring of the
formation.”
