Introduction
This section introduces the second
edition of the water management
framework and the areas where it has
been updated. It describes how the water
management framework facilitates an
improved and integrated approach to
water resource management, and the
three common approaches to water
management in the oil and gas industry.

economic and regulatory.
Operational efficiency
In some areas, the risk assessment may identify
constraints in water resource availability, either existing
and/or in the future as demand increases or supply
lowers. In these cases, risk management could involve
seeking to lower demands on the freshwater resource,
by avoiding freshwater use, reducing use and/or
recycling water. This could be combined with motivating
other operators to improve their operational efficiency,
including recycling water between users to lower the
overall demand on the freshwater resource. This could
be achieved directly or through engaging with local
stakeholders and policies which promote environmental
performance. IPIECA’s Water management framework
can be used to improve operational efficiency by
providing guidance throughout the operation lifecycle.

Section 2
Industrial water management practices have evolved in recent years. This has primarily been in response to changes in
water availability in many locations, caused by factors such as population growth, urbanisation, industrial development,
climate change, food security and water degradation. All these factors combine to increase the extent of water scarcity
and stress across a number of regions of the world.
