Call for abstract
Produced Water Management Conference 2027
From Waste to Resource – Smarter Strategies for Sustainable Water Management
Tekna and the Program Committee invite industry professionals, researchers and technology providers to submit abstracts for the 2027 conference.
Produced water management is evolving rapidly. Stricter regulations, maturing assets, digitalisation and the increasing focus on sustainability and resource optimisation are reshaping how we design and operate water management systems.
We welcome contributions presenting new insights, field experience, research results and innovative technologies within – but not limited to – the following topics:
Regulatory Framework & Sustainability
· Meeting new and upcoming regulations and industry standards
· Environmental performance and compliance strategies
· BAT assessments and technology qualification
· ESG perspectives and water stewardship
· Produced water in a broader energy transition context
Produced Water Handling & Operations
· Injection strategies and reservoir impact
· Fluid characterisation and chemical management
· Operational case studies and lessons learned
· Handling solids and challenging water compositions
· Debottlenecking and performance improvement of existing facilities
· Subsea Produced Water Management (PWM)
· Reliability, maintenance and lifecycle optimisation
Digitalisation & Smart Water Management
· AI and Machine Learning applications in PW management
· Digital twins and data-driven optimisation
· Instrumentation, monitoring and predictive maintenance
· Improving reliability and uptime through digital solutions
· Automation and smart control systems
