Claims

The present invention relates, in general terms, to processes for adding a chemical composition to a produced water mixture upstream of a platform connected to a well to be hydraulically fractured. The added chemical composition comprises a drag-reducing agent, a biocide, a scale inhibitor, or any combination thereof. The produced water mixture comprising the added chemical composition can then be transferred via pipeline to the well to be hydraulically fractured. This offers several advantages, which may include, for example, a reduced platform footprint, improved biocide efficacy, reduced time for transferring the produced water, and / or reduced pumping time during hydraulic fracturing.
