Report Scope

This report analyzes the market for PWTE. The global market is discussed when relevant, although the report focuses on North America. Produced water, for purposes of this report, is the water produced from oil and gas production, including water that is present naturally in the reservoir (also called formation water or connate water), water previously injected into the reservoir (floodwater), and condensed water from gas production.

North American PWTE market data is provided in dollar value for 2014 and 2015, with projections given through 2020. Numbers are broken down by application (oil fields, gas fields), treatment stages (primary/secondary, tertiary, enhanced), location (onshore, offshore) and hydrocarbon resource (conventional oil, oil sands, conventional gas, coal-bed methane, tight oil and shale gas).

This report does not include equipment used to produce or process hydrocarbons or to process water generated from oil and gas processing operations. It also does not include any water produced outside of the oil and gas industries.
