Water Management
Reducing excessive water production in oil and gas wells is one of the greatest challenges that operators face today. The industry is now forced to identify and implement more effective reservoir water management solutions. Better diagnostics and optimization of waterflood programs are crucial to reduce the water produced and increase recovery rates. Reducing and recycling produced water, and minimizing fresh water consumption greatly improve operator profitability and aid in water conservation.
Effective reservoir water management will improve operators’ profitability through the following:
- Increased working life of the well
- Decreased lifting costs
- Minimized water treatment and disposal
- Reduced concerns and costs regarding the environment
- Decreased well maintenance costs
Today, three barrels of water are produced on average for every barrel of oil or gas, and 98% of all waste created by the exploration and production of petroleum is due to produced water. Yet, operators need water for operations – particularly in unconventional gas stimulation, thermal enhanced oil recovery, and waterflooding in conventional oil production. Locating and transporting water for operations also poses additional challenges. Reducing the volume of water produced and finding effective utilization of this water can greatly help us to reduce the cost of production and achieve our environmental objectives.
At Tendeka we help operators optimize the productivity of oil and gas wells through effective water management solutions. Through practical application of our technology we provide our clients with integrated and cost-effective project solutions. Our team of industry specialists will help you to assess risk and maximize productivity while reducing overall costs, to develop a sustainable water management strategy.
Tendeka’s products and services facilitate:
Reservoir Monitoring: Tendeka’s reservoir monitoring and control solutions provide real-time data that can be used to understand the well environment and make educated reservoir management assessments.
Inflow Control: Tendeka’s ICD completion’s can significantly reduce water cut thus improving overall well performance.
Zonal Isolation: is required to prevent the cross-flow of fluids between geological layers and to reduce the volume of produced water. It is important in these circumstances to achieve the best possible seal between reservoirs.
