Produced Water Treatment & Transfer

Our water programs combine advanced chemistry, real-time monitoring, and high-rate treatment systems to meet the toughest regulatory and operational requirements — all while reducing trucking, disposal costs, and freshwater demand.

Key Treatment Capabilities

Stimulate delivers field-proven water management solutions that turn produced and flowback water from a liability into a reusable asset. Operating across Northeast BC and Northwest Alberta, we specialize in treating high-H₂S, high-barium, and iron-laden waters so they can be safely reused in completions, blended with neighboring sources, or disposed of cost-effectively.

H₂S Removal from Produced Water

  • Oxidizer-based liquid scavengers (D-Vour series)
    Proven removal of H₂S up to 34,000 ppm in the liquid phase.
  • High-rate treatment: up to 74 m³/hour with 24-hour operations.
  • Real-world example: 1,349 m³ successfully treated in a single 24-hour period.
  • Full fluid handling — from flowline through treatment to clean storage (C-Ring or frac pond).

Barium Removal & Fluid Compatibility (D-Bar 3020)

  • Targeted reduction of barium (Ba²⁺) to < 100 mg/L for safe reuse or blending.
  • Prevents barium sulfate (BaSO₄) scaling when mixing high-barium and high-sulfate waters.
  • Large-volume pond treatments: successfully treated 70,000 m³ in ~7 days using high-rate circulation.
  • Enables “water-sharing” between neighboring producers by neutralizing incompatible chemistries.

Iron Removal & Control

  • Rapid precipitation and removal of dissolved and suspended iron.
  • Prevents iron-related scaling, emulsion issues, and bacterial growth.
  • Integrated into our standard barium and H₂S treatment programs when required.

Additional Water Treatment Services

  • Scale and corrosion inhibitor programs
  • Biocide treatments for bacterial control
  • pH adjustment and clarification
  • On-site compatibility testing and blending recommendations

Real-Time Monitoring & Verification

Every water treatment job includes:

  • Continuous H₂S monitoring with Sulfilogger™ sensors (upstream & downstream)
  • Daily barium, iron, sulfate, and pH analysis using portable field labs
  • Detailed reporting showing before-and-after water quality

Why Producers Choose Stimulate for Water Management

  • Reuse over disposal – Turn expensive waste into frac-ready water.
  • Neighbor-to-neighbor water sharing – Unlock stranded volumes by solving compatibility issues.
  • Regulatory compliance – Meet or exceed AER, BCER, and federal water quality guidelines.
  • Cost control – Reduce trucking and disposal fees by treating on location.
  • 24/7 execution – Full crews and equipment for non-stop treatment when you need volume fast.

Whether you’re sitting on a full pond of barium-rich water, fighting sour production fluids, or trying to secure compatible sources for your next completion — we have the chemistry, equipment, and experience to make your water work for you.
