Upstream Oil and Gas

Advanced recovery technologies have drastically increased water use during oil and gas exploration. Recovering one barrel of oil or gas now requires approximately four barrels of water. Aquatech’s total water approach provides sustainable water solutions based on end usage applications – solutions that work to increase safety, reduce risk, improve economics, and are in sync with both community and regulatory requirements.

In recent decades, the oil and gas industry has undergone significant changes. However, water and wastewater treatment for upstream oil and gas water has remained a key factor for successful operations. Aquatech has been serving some of the largest global oil and gas companies in meeting their water treatment and wastewater needs.

For more than three decades, Aquatech has provided oil and gas companies with proven water and wastewater treatment systems worldwide. Our total water approach provides sustainable upstream oil and gas water treatment solutions based on end usage applications, solutions that work to increase safety, reduce risk in schedule and cost uncertainties, improve project economics from a CAPEX and OPEX evaluation, and are in sync with both community and regulatory requirements.
