Rittenhouse et al. 1960s Historical Archived Produced Water Dataset
- National Energy Technology Laboratory
Around 1960, a private company entered into a research agreement to analyze for dissolved solids in water produced from >800 fields in the U.S. and Canada.. The elemental compositions provided were measured spectrochemically by Rittenhouse et al. The information has been made available to the public as a public service, but the names off of the companies and exact well locations have been removed. The samples are now located at the University of Texas in Austin. More details can be found in the following reference: Gordon Rittenhouse, Robert B. Fulton, Robert J. Grabowski, Joseph L. Bernard, Minor elements in oil-field waters, Chemical Geology, Volume 4, Issues 1–2, 1969, Pages 189-209, ISSN 0009-2541, https://doi.org/10.1016/0009-2541(69)90045-X.
