With increasing global industrial activity, the demand for clean, process-ready water continues to grow exponentially. At the same time, challenges related to water quality, treatment, and reuse have intensified—particularly within the oil, gas, and petrochemical industries, where efficient water handling is crucial for both production and sustainability. The Water Treatment for Production and Injection Systems course, offered by Pideya Learning Academy, provides a specialized understanding of how water is managed in upstream operations, focusing on its role in production support and injection processes.
According to the United Nations World Water Development Report 2024, global water demand is expected to rise by 20-30% by 2050, with industrial processes accounting for a significant share of this increase. The oil and gas sector alone uses approximately 12–20 million barrels of water per day during production and enhanced oil recovery (EOR) operations. Moreover, a report by the International Energy Agency indicates that nearly 15% of operational downtime in production facilities is attributed to water-related issues, including poor treatment system performance, scaling, and corrosion. These statistics underscore the pressing need for engineers and technical professionals to be equipped with sound knowledge in water treatment technologies and best practices.
In response to these challenges, Pideya Learning Academy has designed this course to provide participants with a comprehensive foundation in water treatment strategies that are directly applicable to production and injection systems. The training encompasses both surface-level and reservoir-level considerations, providing an integrated perspective on water sourcing, treatment, conditioning, and re-injection in oilfield environments.
Participants will gain critical insights into water chemistry and its impact on scaling, fouling, and microbiological growth—factors that significantly affect the performance of injection systems and the integrity of production infrastructure. The course also emphasizes how to evaluate water quality parameters and interpret laboratory data to support efficient water treatment designs and compliance monitoring.
Moreover, the training explores the challenges of treating produced water and optimizing water reuse within facility boundaries, thereby reducing fresh water intake and supporting environmental targets. A key component of the program includes decision-making frameworks for selecting the most suitable technologies based on field characteristics, water quality, and operational goals.
Key highlights of the Water Treatment for Production and Injection Systems training include:
A thorough understanding of industrial water treatment technologies used in oil and gas operations
Strategies for optimizing water injection quality to mitigate reservoir damage and enhance EOR performance
Evaluation of produced water characteristics and reuse opportunities in closed-loop systems
Insights into scaling and corrosion mechanisms, along with chemical treatment selection
Identification of system bottlenecks through root-cause analysis and data-driven diagnostics
Integration of environmental compliance strategies aligned with ISO 14001 and regional standards
Case studies from global oilfields to illustrate real-world water treatment successes and failures
This course is structured to help professionals develop a cross-functional understanding of how water interacts with different production systems. Participants will leave equipped to make informed decisions that enhance system efficiency, support environmental compliance, and reduce operational risk.
Whether managing a mature asset with increasing water cut or working in early-phase production requiring efficient water injection, this Pideya Learning Academy course delivers the knowledge and strategic tools needed to address one of the industry’s most complex and vital challenges—effective water management. Through expert-led sessions and contextual case discussions, participants will be empowered to optimize water usage, reduce chemical costs, and contribute meaningfully to their organization’s sustainability and performance goals.
