Produced water is the water that occurs in the extraction of oil and natural gas as a byproduct. It contains dispersed oil, dissolved organic compounds, radioactive materials as well as production chemicals. Dispersed oil refers to the mixture of oil, emulsifier and solvents that enhance the flow of oil in oil spills. In 2019, an estimated 2,190 tons of dispersed oil and produced water were discharged into the sea on the United Kingdom Continental Shelf.
