Oilfield Water Management
Baker Hughes water management optimizes oil recovery, reduces OPEX, and sustains your environmental commitment for increased return on investment. Building on our century-long legacy of water conformance technology, we’re launching these new services: oilfield water shutoff, oilfield chemical water conformance, and oilfield water reuse.
By combining our existing water shutoff tools and pressure pumping/coiled-tubing expertise, we can diagnose, design, and deploy a customized solution to solve your excess water production issues.
On the surface, our water reuse services reduce waste and recycle produced and flowback water in a closed-loop. Because we recognize every shale formation is different with varying contaminants, we’ll determine the adequate treatment solution so produced water can be reused.
Operator increases gas production 277%
An operator working in east Texas called on us to reduce excess water in a long horizontal gas well. The well was producing 1.8 MMcf/D with a high water cut of 2,000 B/D.
The Baker Hughes Reservoir Performance Monitor (RPM™) platform pinpointed the water source 10,100 ft [3,078 m] above a frac port near the toe of the well. Our RPM platform is a slimhole, multifunction, pulsed-neutron reservoir monitoring instrument.
We recommended our through-tubing bridge plugs to shut off the produced water. The immediate result was significant: 85% less water to 300 B/D from 2,000 B/D. Gas production increased 277% to 5 MMcf/D from 1.8 MMcf/D.

Oilfield Water Shutoff
Ensure water conformance. Our customized approach includes water inflow detection, mechanical shutoff tools, permanent cement retainers, and chemical remediation.
Oilfield Chemical Water Conformance Services
Our superior application of gel technology penetrates into the formation and preferentially blocks high-flow water pathways to improve production from the less-swept portions.
Oilfield Surface Water Management
Decrease operating cost by conserving water and reducing transportation and disposal cost while maintaining environmental stewardship. We understand sustainable operations.
