The global produced water treatment market size is expected to reach USD 13.71 billion by 2030, expanding at a CAGR of 7.8%, according to a new report by Grand View Research, Inc. The technological advancement pertaining to water management in the oil & gas sector with an aim to not only enhance productivity but also ensure environmental protection is expected to have a positive impact on the market. Depleting reserves of crude oil in major OPEC countries including Saudi Arabia and Indonesia owing to rising capital costs in exploration & production (E&P) is expected to force oil companies to invest in alternate sources including tight oil, coalbed methane (CBM) and gas hydrates. This trend is projected to promote the usage of produced water treatment in E&P activities of alternative sources including shale gas and tight oil over the forecast period.

Offshore application segment accounted for 28.5% of the global revenue share in 2022. Numerous companies are focusing on expanding their market share by focusing on offshore applications. For instance, Siemens AG offers Combosep, a primary treatment system for offshore applications. This system comprises flotation units for the removal of total suspended solids and oil droplets.
