Veolia Water, the water division of
Veolia Environnement S.A. (VE), has been selected
to design, build and operate a 45,000 barrel- per-day (Bbls/d)
produced water reclamation facility in California for
Plains Exploration & Production Company (PXP).
Located in Plains’ Arroyo Grande Oilfield in San Luis Obispo
County, California, the facility will be supervised by Veolia Water
under a 12-year performance agreement.
Per the agreement, Veolia Water
will provide operations and maintenance services and performance
guarantees on a fixed-fee basis to ensure design performance and
high-quality recycled water. Veolia plans to install Veolia Water’s
OPUS II technology to supply high-quality water in the treatment
system.
Veolia said the treatment process
will produce water that meets or exceeds state and federal permit
requirements. This treated water at the Arroyo Grande facility will
provide 25,000 Bbls/d for use as Once Through Steam Generation
(OTSG) make-up. It will also provide about 20,000 Bbls/d for
surface water discharge and dewatering the Arroyo Grande reservoir,
which will result in reduction of formation pressure enabling
increased crude oil production at the site.
Veolia Water’s OPUS II technology
is a world-class technology that processes water for better
quality. This technology utilizes Veolia Water’s CeraMem ceramic
membranes as pre-treatment prior to ion exchange and reverse
osmosis. The company had demonstrated the OPUS II process on the
facility’s site in a pilot-scale study for a period of four months,
before the agreement was reached.
Based in France, Veolia
Environnement is a provider of environmental management services to

Service Inc. (CTWS) and York Water Co.
