Research

The CEPWM Vision

is structured around the creation of synergies available to promote sustainable stewardship of produced waters. We share the common goal of providing value to the Oil and Gas industry and others, through our innovative approaches to treatment technologies.

Our research is focused on maximizing value extraction from industrially produced water processing, management, recovery, renewal, and reclamation. We do this through the practical application of benefits such as:

Treatment technology development and evaluation

We help companies develop technologies, and provide baseline data on how those technologies perform. 

Resource extraction and exploitation

Produced waters contain a myriad of valuable resources, such as minerals, precious metals, and rare earth elements.

Produced water economics and beneficial reuse

The mission of our research is to determine the cost points where water reuse is a viable option.
