Management of water costs is now paramount to oilfield operations, and it all begins with understanding local supply options, alternatives, and costs, along with a comprehensive understanding of fluid quality needs for drilling, completion, and possibly waterflooding operations.

Our water sourcing team is unparalleled; led by one of the country’s top hydrogeologists with intimate familiarity of both surface waters and deep aquifer geologic profiles, water quality and constituent ranges, drainage and recharge characteristics, seasonal variability, and potential environmental impacts.

The hydrology team is complemented by our experts in completions fluids, drilling fluids,  EOR and water flooding chemistries, and water transfer and logistics, who collectively are able to provide solutions which address a range of fluid quality requirements while minimizing freshwater withdrawals, and cost-optimizing for re-use and recycling where possible.

Fluid sourcing programs typically will incorporate multiple sourcing options for redundancy so as to assure operations continuity in the event of unforeseen supply impairment.
