As the oil and gas industry grows rapidly worldwide over the years, the production of produced water is also increasing. Million barrels of water are produced each day worldwide. This situation has become a major problem and a to the environment and ecosystem. Produced water contains many constituents such as dispersed oil, metals and chemicals that have a high toxicity and very harmful to the marine life. Therefore, it must be treated prior disposal to the environment or reinjection into the well and formation. There are many methods of treatments such as liquid-liquid hydrocyclone, floatation technology and membrane technology. Membrane technology is quite a new technology for the treatment of produced water in oil and gas industry. This paper is focused on the viability of using composite membranes which are Polysulfone (PSU), Polysulfone-bentonite (PSU-bentonite), PSU-PVP (Polysulfone-Poly vinyl pyrrolidone) and Polysulfone-Poly vinyl pyrrolidone-bentonite (PSU-PVP-bentonite) for the treatment of produced water. The objectives of this study are; 1) to characterize the produced water, 2) to prepare and cast the composite membrane and 3) to investigate the membrane performance in treating the produced water. The performance of the composite membrane were tested by using the produced water as wastewater feed and the best composite membrane is determined by the membrane performance. In the membrane preparation process, a method have been used namely phase inversion method. This research found that technically composite membrane have a good potential to be used in treating produced water from Malaysian oil and gas field. Thus, further technical and economic study on this treatment method is suggested for industrial scale application.

Abstract In an Oil and Gas field development plan, identifying appropriate reservoir location of a field and deciding the best design strategy as well as meeting the economic hydrocarbon viability are imperative for sustainability. 3-Dimensional seismic data have become a key tool used by geophysicists in the Oil and Gas industry to identify and understand subsurface reservoir deposits. In addition to providing excellent structural images, the dense sampling of a 3D survey can sometimes make it possible to map reservoir quality and the distribution of Oil and Gas. Primarily, Seismic data sets were retrieved from the ongoing Kolmani exploratory work of upper Benue trough, bordering Gombe-Bauchi communities of Nigeria and Simulation study from improve design was conducted using PETREL and SURFER software's to obtain numerous coordinates from the source and receiver lines respectively and subsequent formation of strategic-designs that shows different arrangements of the prospect area, an interpretation of the acquired data sets that indicates the reservoir location appropriately and probable onset of drilling spot. The well to seismic was also merged using synthetic seismogram that shows the location of reservoir (s) from the seismic data obtained and four different wells with anticipated depths respectively. The overall aim of the whole design and simulation studies is to aid petroleum Geologist and Geophysicists avoids common pit falls by reducing dry holes and increasing the overall number of productive wells prior to actual commencement of drilling in this prospect area and elsewhere.
