PARETO is an optimization framework for onshore produced water management that is meant to empower practitioners, researchers, and policymakers to identify cost-effective and environmentally sustainable ways to manage, treat, and – when possible – beneficially reuse produced water from oil & gas operations. Given user-provided water production, demand, and transportation data, PARETO can help determine where and how to build out produced water infrastructure while simultaneously improving the coordination of water deliveries over time. As shown here, the framework is innately designed to help organizations recognize opportunities for minimizing fresh and brackish water consumption by maximizing produced water reuse in active oil & gas development areas. PARETO is Python-based and is publicly available via GitHub.
