Every gas well will produce some amount of water along with the gas. Some gas wells produce very large quantities of water along with the gas. In coalbed methane and shale, the water in the reservoir takes the place of the cap rock that keeps the gas from migrating out of the reservoir, and it must be produced on a managed schedule to match the desorption curve with the reservoir’s flow capability. This chapter takes the water that has been produced and isolated from the gas stream and considers the quality of the water, potential disposal methods, and the facilities that are required to make the water suitable for the target disposal methods.
