This standard specifies the determination of dissolved and dispersed components in oilfield water (produced water, injection water, workover fluid and stimulation fluid). This standard does not apply to bacterial analysis, biological testing (toxicity testing to marine organisms), determination of natural radioactive substances and membrane filter testing methods in oil field water. The biological testing standards for bacterial populations and concentrations can be found in the American Association of Corrosion Engineers International Standard TM O194-2004 "On-site Monitoring of Bacterial Growth in Oilfield Systems." For the measurement standards of natural radioactive substances in oil field water, see API Bull E2 "Management of Natural Radioactive Substances in Oil and Gas Exploitation". For membrane filter testing, please refer to the American Association of Corrosion Engineers International Standard TM O173-99 "Test Method for Determining Injection Water Quality Using Membrane Filters" or SY/T5329 "Recommended Indicators and Analysis Methods for Injection Water Quality in Clastic Rock Reservoirs". The residue analysis of some organic treatment agents (such as resists, demulsifiers, scale inhibitors, water purifiers, insecticides, etc.) is also not included in this standard. However, the analysis of common components of certain chemicals such as phosphates (scaling inhibitors) is included in this standard. Finally, the analysis of harmless oilfield wastes, such as drilling fluids, soils, cores, etc., is outside the scope of this standard, but water (including filtrate) separated from the above substances can be analyzed by this standard. The analytical methods listed in this standard have been selected based on their accuracy, repeatability, and suitability for the oil field. Several analysis methods with different levels of difficulty and accuracy are provided for most components, allowing operators to choose the most appropriate and economical method according to their needs.
