Asset Management
KOI Water Group has a proven, rigorous process in place for identifying, developing, and operating water treatment facilities. The components of that process are as follows:
Preliminary Evaluation
Target Selection
The determination of preferred high value targets is based on produced water volumes within an operating field, assessing water qualities, and then prioritizing development based on the needs of the oil and gas producers throughout the area.
Water Treatment Evaluation
In order to determine the optimum water treatment for an area, KOI Water Group performs an evaluation with producers to determine specific water quality inputs and re-use cases. After undergoing analysis, data is then integrated our water treatment model, which is used to demonstrate estimated volumes, costs, and operational savings for our Clients.
Water Development Plan
Water Facilities Design and Requirements
After an operating area is thoroughly analyzed, a water plant model is created. The data required at this stage of the process may include reviewing production reports, drilling reports, County meeting minutes, producer and service company feedback, and State and Provincial Regulator consultation. KOI Water Group financially models the project and engineering analysis is used to provide an informed estimate of the potentials for each facility. Based on the results, the optimum design and treatment approach is then determined.
Upstream and Midstream Strategy
The location of each water treatment facility directly impacts the methods and costs of transporting commercial water for re-use. After completing a comprehensive study, a plan is created, which is focused on the economic benefit to the company, and is designed to ensure maximum return on investment for both KOI Water Group and its Clients.
Operations
Water Treatment Optimization
Treatment processes are constantly refined based on continual monitoring and interpretation of the points of measurement and analysis. Real-time information access enables the optimal decision to be made at the appropriate time. By focusing on enhanced recovery of hydrocarbons, more efficient management of each facility is possible.
Data is collected and warehoused, and is used to provide an ongoing and accurate valuation of the company and its processes. The real-time data is also used to keep onside with all government regulations and ensure our water model is constantly updated.
Business Process Optimization
At all points of the process, from facility preparation, facility construction, and production, constant scrutiny will be maintained by a group of dedicated personnel focused on ensuring optimal quality, safety and efficiency of operations. Contracts with leading service providers will provide additional insurance for successful long-term operations. These business agreements include financial, labor, quality standards, and Health, Safety, and Environment (HSE) standards.
