These local content case studies were published alongside the second edition of Ipieca's 2016 publication Local content: A guidance document for the oil and gas industry.
This manual describes typical 'best practices' and strategies used in petroleum refineries to manage water, including ways to reduce water usage. Improved water management in a petroleum refinery can potentially reduce the volume and cost of raw water used in refinery operations. Furthermore, improved water management may result in reductions in wastewater flow or contaminant load or both. Lower flow and contaminant load may result in lower wastewater treatment operating and maintenance costs. Optimized water management may also reduce the mass of contaminants in the treated effluent, thus improving the quality of a wastewater discharge and ultimately the environmental impact of a refinery's discharge.
Food and water safety is of paramount importance for effective functioning of the oil and gas industry. All sectors of the industry, from frontier exploration and production locations, to retail operations, are potentially at risk.
