Water Management

As part of complying to our HSE Policy, we regulate our water usage in our operations. We at MedcoEnergi are commited to manage water use to minimise any impact on the environment. Water is predominantly used for our supporting offices, with a small portion required for our oil & gas production activities. We adopt water recycling to reduce our intake of water withdrawal in our facilities.

Managing our Produced Water
We manage produced water through three strategies that include discharging treated water into water bodies, reinjecting into injection wells, or transferring to third-party entities. Our produced water is treated at our Produced Water Treatment (PWT) facilities to reduce hydrocarbon, chemical, and hazardous substances concentrations to meet regulatory and industry standards.

Managing our Wastewater
Across most ranges of our assets, domestic wastewater is treated at our Waste Water Treatment Plants (WWTPs). We ensure compliance with applicable quality standards to protect the environment. Effluents are routinely monitored to meet the host governments’ regulations and remain below Threshold Limit Values (TLVs).

Further reading on our water management can be found in MedcoEnergi’s Sustainability Report.


In Medco Power, withdrawn water is used to generate power in our mini hydro power plant, where the water directed to turbines is used only once before being immediately returned to the environment without substantial changes in quality.
