Speakers announced for IDA conference in Banff

Shauna Curry, CEO, Centre for Affordable Water and Sanitation Technology, is the Keynote Speaker, and Dr Corrado Sommariva, IDA President, will deliver the Opening Remarks.

Conference topics include:

· Steam Assisted Gravity Drainage Case Studies
· Thermal Treatment Technologies
· Membrane Applications in Oilfields: oily produced water, brine, polymers versus ceramics
· Options for Produced Water Pre-Treatment
· Treatment of Frac Water in Shale Gas and Shale Oil
· Regulations and Residuals Management
· Enhanced Oil Recovery (EOR) and Sulphate Removal Process (SRP) Technology
· Waste Pit Treatment by Forward Osmosis
· Brine Management
· Low Salinity Flooding: technology adaptation and drivers

“This event is timely and relevant for not only members of the oil and gas industry, but also for professionals engaged in desalination and wastewater recycle/reuse,” said Guillaume Clairet, IDA director, conference Technical Program chair, and co-chair of IDA’s Humanitarian Outreach Program.

“Oil and gas companies must contend with a variety of issues, from increasingly stringent environmental regulations to heightened scrutiny about wastewater from fracking and oil recovery operations. This conference will place the spotlight on water treatment strategies to manage these issues,” he added.

In addition to sharing technical knowledge, the conference will continue the work of IDA’s Humanitarian Outreach Initiative. Proceeds from the event will be donated to one or more non-profit organizations that develop water-related humanitarian projects in Africa and South America, where the majority of the population still suffers from drinking water scarcity.
