Water

Canada's oil and gas industry is working to use less water onshore and protect the water we work in offshore.

Reducing Our Water Use

The issue

Water is an important part of oil and gas production, and as Canada’s oil and gas industry grows, so does the demand on Canadian water resources.

What we’re doing

The upstream oil and gas industry is committed to using water responsibly. The industry is a leader in researching recycling techniques, reusing water and focusing on using non-drinkable water as an alternative to fresh water.

Respecting Marine Environments

The issue

In Atlantic Canada the industry operates offshore. These environments need to be safeguarded to ensure marine life and ecosystems are not harmed by oil and gas production.

What we’re doing

The industry uses a variety of measures to protect the offshore environments we work in.
