Project PARETO – The Produced Water Optimization Initiative
The National Energy Technology Laboratory (NETL), in cooperation with the Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory (LBNL), has launched a three-year, $5 million produced water optimization initiative to develop, demonstrate and deploy a novel optimization framework.
Our Framework
The Produced Water Application for Beneficial Reuse, Environmental Impact and Treatment Optimization (PARETO) is specifically designed for produced water management and beneficial reuse. The major deliverable of this project will be an open-source, optimization-based, downloadable and executable produced water decision-support application, PARETO, that can be run by upstream operators, midstream companies, technology providers, water end users, research organizations and regulators.
