A method of improved recovery in which water is injected into a reservoir to remove additional quantities of oil that have been left behind after primary recovery.  Waterflooding usually involves the injection of water through wells specially set up for water injection and the removal of water and oil from production wells drilled adjacent to the injection wells

A well drilled to (1) obtain a water supply to support drilling or plant operations, or (2) to obtain a water supply to be used in connection with an improved recovery program

Dew point is defined as the temperature at which vapor begins to condense.

Dewpointing removes the liquid vapors from the gas to prevent the formation of slug in the pipeline

Water dew-point is to prevent the condensation and accumulation of water at low points in the pipelines. The water dew-point specification is usually achieved by removing water vapour from the process gas stream using different dehydration or other technologies.

The ratio of produced water to produced gas

The fraction of water in a given pore space

The right to drill and search for water in the area of a petroleum right and to use the water for drilling and exploration operations

An assessment of the physical, chemical and biological characteristics of water, especially how they relate to the suitability of that water for a particular use. Power stations, especially coal stations require a lot of water for cooling purposes

Sector that consumes a lot of electricity
