Why Join the Produced Water Society?
Becoming a member of the Produced Water Society (PWS) is more than just a personal investment; it’s a commitment to advancing the entire produced water sector. As we face increasing operational, environmental, and economic challenges, our industry must come together to share knowledge, solve problems, and shape the future of water in energy production.
Produced water is a vital part of the oil and gas industry, and collaboration has never been more important. By joining PWS, you’ll be part of a growing community dedicated to innovation, efficiency, and environmental stewardship. Whether you’re an E&P operator, service provider, academic, regulator, or technology developer, there is a place for you in our Society.
PWS membership empowers professionals to share best practices and lessons learned helping reduce OPEX and CAPEX, improve performance, and maintain safety standards without compromising workforce sustainability. And as the energy expansion (transition) continues to evolve, our members have a unique opportunity not just to participate but to lead the conversation.
We invite you to be part of this journey.
