The investigation of production waters in oil and gas fields of Azerbaijan
M.N. IbrahimovaThe results of production water analysis on definition of suspended solid particles content are provided. The influence of production waters of oil fields on environment before and after deposition in open reservoirs is studied. In the result of gas-chromatographic separation with further mass spectrometry, 197 compounds with precise content data and 300 detected have been revealed. The investigation of non-organic ions content showed that the major cationic component of the sample is sodium (98.63 % mass), and regarding anions, main components here are chlorides (68.5 % mass). In the production waters the signs of heavy metals have been detected. It was established that the production waters do not show radioactive threat. From the volatile organic compounds the highest content in production waters is of benzol (13.2 % mass), tolyol (11.7 % mass), cyclohexane (4.4 % mass). Apart from these substances, there are compounds in insignificant quality. The more toxic and dangerous for environment are the derivatives of hydroxylamine.
