The Use of Reed bed Technology for Treating Oil Production Waters in the Sultanate

The safe and environmentally benign disposal of oil production water is of major concern in the Sultanate of Oman. Petroleum Development Oman (PDO) is currently producing 600,000 m 3 d -1 , and the volume is predicted to rise to 900,000 m 3 d -1
