Oilfield Water Management

Overview Library

For many oil and gas production projects, the development of water sources for enhanced oil recovery; provision and recycling of frac water; and management, treatment, and disposal of produced water create a significant cost burden. Cost-effective techniques for managing oilfield water require a comprehensive understanding of reservoir characteristics, production volumes, hydrogeology, engineering design, and environmental considerations.

Schlumberger Water Services specializes in designing and managing projects to minimize the costs associated with oilfield water and to help clients comply with regulatory requirements. Expertise in oilfield services, combined with a team of Schlumberger water professionals and water-specific technologies, provide integrated project solutions for oilfield water that incorporate conveyance, pumping, treatment, and disposal.
