[0002] A large amount of produced water is generated in the process of oil field development, and most of the produced water is treated and then used for balancing formation pressure and water injection for oil displacement by means of reinjection; however, in some blocks, the produced water cannot be reinjected due to the lack of effective oil and water treatment capacity; in particular, the associated water produced in the exploitation of coalbed methane and natural gas has a relatively small water production, and the well site is not complete, and the investment in the construction of a treatment station is not suitable.
[0003] For these wastewaters, the oil and gas field usually adopts the following three ways:
[0004] First, a water treatment station is constructed by adopting the processes of adding chemicals, multi-stage sedimentation, oil removal, and multi-stage filtration, so that the produced water meets the requirements for formation reinjection, and is reinjected into the same layer or invalidly reinjected; this water treatment process is complex, has many types of equipment, occupies a large area, has a large amount of chemical agent, has a high comprehensive treatment cost, and has a large investment in the treatment station;
[0005] Second, the produced water is transported to other treatment stations or local water treatment plants for treatment in the case of no station construction conditions; this way increases the transportation cost and the cost of entrusting water treatment;
[0006] Third, in the case of not meeting the above conditions, only the way of natural evaporation or the way of invalid reinjection without treatment can be selected for individual blocks, which seriously affects the natural ecology and destroys the formation, and pollutes the environment. SUMMARY
