Whether it’s a small volume produced in a gas field, or large volumes required for waterflooding, the water footprint needs to be managed appropriately.
Water can support improvements in recoverable reserves, yet causes bottlenecks in production systems directly, or indirectly. This duality in the role of water needs to be addressed in a pragmatic, upfront, integrated and asset-based approach. Is this always achieved in our industry? Unfortunately, the answer is no, so proven, robust, rapid workflows and methods are a necessity to maintain a healthy bottom line.
