Water is an essential component of oil and gas production. We need water to operate our diverse projects and we obtain it from different sources. At Canadian Natural, we maintain our commitment to reducing fresh water use and to making use of this resource in an efficient way.
We have developed and implemented water management strategies to conserve fresh water throughout our operations. We continue to significantly reduce fresh water use, increase recycling and where possible, use brackish (saline) water. Our efforts towards protecting water sources also include groundwater monitoring at different facilities and well sites.
Our water management strategy also involves working together with stakeholders and regulators to ensure that we minimize the impact of our water use on natural ecosystems. We strive to constantly optimize water use efficiency through innovation and having the appropriate programs in place.
Canadian Natural continuous to work with various government committees and multi-stakeholders initiatives to protect our water resources.
