Abstract:
A produced water bacterial pretreatment method which includes a) optionally adjusting a pH and a temperature of a produced water containing bacteria; b) adding a cysteine protease to said produced water; c) allowing said cysteine protease to inactivate said bacteria, thus producing pretreated produced water; and d) introducing said pretreated produced water into a wellbore penetrating a subterranean formation is provided.
