Mission / Vision

The mission and vision of the Water Management discipline is to share know-how, experiences, and lessons learned in surface and subsurface water management.

Introduction

As the fields are maturing, water production in most of the Kuwait reservoirs are increasing. Improved Water Management techniques will benefit the Upstream in controlling the downhole volume of water being produced and managing larger volumes of produced water. The traditional resolution method of down-hole water control is to squeeze off bottom perforations. CoE could contribute to assessment, evaluation, and knowledge sharing of new water control techniques, e.g. gels, permeability modifiers, ICDs (Inflow Control Devices), and intelligent completions. The sharing of knowledge, experience, and lessons learned, in the area of Surface and Subsurface Water Management will benefit all the K-Companies and the oil industry by bringing in all the relevant knowledge under one roof to create value.
