In this paper, nine strains of salt-tolerant petroleum-degrading bacteria were applied to an biological aerated filter. Simulating the degradation of high-salinity petroleum wastewater with n-hexadecane and 2,4-ditert-butylphenol as the primary pollutants and analyzing the structure of the biofilm at various salt concentrations. According to the results, when the salinity was 4%, the COD removal efficiency reached 74.34%. Various halotolerant microorganisms have adapted to various salt concentrations. At a salinity of 3%, n-hexadecane exhibited the best degradation effect, with a rate of 83.21%. Shewanella, Acinetobacter, and Marinobacter were the predominant bacterial groups at the time. At 4% salinity, Acinetobacter and Pseudomonas were the predominant bacteria, and the average 2,4-ditert-butylphenol degradation rate was the highest at 63.02%. This study provided an experimental basis for further studying the biological treatment of high-salinity petroleum wastewater.

Barium (Ba), dimethyl phthalate (DMP), and elevated salinity represent signature contaminations derived from shale gas extraction activities. Investigating the interactive effects of DMP and salinity on the bioavailability and bioaccessibility of Ba within soil-crop systems is essential for precise human health risk assessments and the development of effective remediation strategies. This study comprehensively evaluated the bioavailability, bioaccessibility, and phytotoxicity of Ba.

To address the issues of poor thermal stability, inadequate salt tolerance, and environmental risks in conventional gel systems for the development of high-temperature, high-salinity heterogeneous reservoirs, a triple-synergy gel system comprising anionic polyacrylamide (APAM), polyethyleneimine (PEI), and phenolic resin (SMP) was developed in this study. The optimal synthesis parameters-APAM of 180 mg/L, PEI:SMP = 3:1, salinity of 150,000 ppm, and temperature of 110 °C-were determined via response surface methodology, and a time-viscosity model was established. Compared with existing binary systems, the proposed gel exhibited a mass retention rate of 93.

Lost circulation, a prevalent challenge in drilling engineering, poses significant risks including drilling fluid loss, wellbore instability, and environmental contamination. Conventional plugging materials often exhibit an inadequate performance under high-temperature, high-pressure (HTHP), and complex formation conditions. To address that, this study developed a high-performance gel-resin composite plugging material resistant to HTHP environments.

The small amount of organic impurities in the pre-treated saline wastewater will affect the original solubility of the saline wastewater, which is one of the key issues that restrict the evaporation of saline wastewater with near-zero discharge under the working condition. We have investigated the solid-liquid phase equilibrium relationship under typical organic impurities in falling film evaporation tubes with different parameters. Results show the phase diagram of Na, Mg//Cl-HO in the presence of organic impurities belongs to the phase diagram of a simple system.

Produced water, a byproduct of oil and gas extraction, poses significant environmental challenges due to its complex composition and high salinity. Conventional treatment technologies often struggle to achieve efficient contaminant removal while maintaining long-term operational stability. Membrane-based separation processes, particularly forward osmosis (FO), offer a promising alternative due to their low hydraulic pressure requirements, high selectivity, and ability to mitigate fouling and scaling effects.
