Ovintiv's water resource hubs in the Cutbank Ridge of its Montney operating area are closed-loop systems that run on hydropower. Since the hubs have opened, they have conserved approximately 1.3 billion gallons of freshwater, equivalent to the average annual water use of approximately 9,000 households.
In addition to the positive community impact through water conservation, the hydroelectricity-powered facilities have reduced emissions and noise. Additionally, recycled water is transported via pipelines, eliminating nearly 170,000 water hauling truck trips since the hubs started operations.

Biodiversity, land and water stewardshipIpieca Principles
Environmental responsibility
The second edition of the Water management framework reflects the lessons learnt from members and stakeholders in the years since its original publication.
Ipieca has developed a new fact sheet on evaluating the opportunities and challenges of reusing produced water for the onshore oil and gas industry.
Ocean for Life strategy
PTTEP's 'Ocean for Life' strategy, driven by its offshore operations, aims to achieve a net-positive impact on ocean biodiversity and ecosystem services value for all offshore operations (from base year 2019), increase community income by 50%, and establish 16,000 conservation networks by 2030.
Onshore water management app
Murphy Oil continues to evolve and enhance the water management software application that was first developed for its Tupper Montney asset in 2019. Today, the app supports its entire onshore water operations in the US and Canada with real-time monitoring, reporting and alerts.
