Characterization of produced waters from natural-gas-production operations. Volume 2. Appendix E. Analytical data report. Topical report, July 1986-December 1987

This report presents the results of a nationwide characterization program for produced waters from non-associated natural-gas-production operations. The impetus for the program was the sparsity of existing comprehensive data publicly available on the characteristics and management practices for these production waters. In all, 17 produced water samples from 16 different sites were collected and analyzed. The analytical methods used and parameters tested in the program paralleled those used in EPA's EandP Waste Study and the API's Production Waste Study.
