USGS Produced Waters Database

The produced water database presented at this web site is a revision of a database originally compiled at the DOE Fossil Energy Research Center that was located in Bartlesville, Oklahoma. The USGS modified the original database by removing redundancies, verifying internal consistency and adding information to the fields that describe the location, geologic setting, sample type, and major ion chemical composition. A preliminary version of the revised database, a description of the review methods and illustrations of the contained information are presented.
