Ep. 20: More Water Than Oil: The Truth About Produced Water

In our conversation with Steve Coffee, President of the Produced Water Society we cover various topics related to the oil and gas industry, with a focus on produced water treatment. The discussion highlights the growth of oil and gas production and the increasing need for effective produced water management. We also explore the history and evolution of the Produced Water Society, starting from informal gatherings in Houston to becoming a global nonprofit organization. We get into the challenges and considerations of treating produced water in offshore situations, especially within the space constraints and the need for innovative technologies.

Steve and I dig deep on the role of education, the significance of the oil and gas industry in providing energy, and the importance of maintaining high standards and customer satisfaction. The conversation explores the importance of critical thinking in sustainability and the need for a long-term, holistic approach to ESG and sustainability initiatives.

We discuss the value of water as a resource and the need for a mindset shift to recognize its importance. Steve and I don't forget to discuss the opportunities for young professionals to contribute to the field of produced water and the importance of getting involved in industry organizations and committees.
