UK Shale Gas: MWH and Gas Generation in a Low-Carbon Future

The emergence of Shale Gas as a new

and globally significant energy source is

an example of the energy/water nexus

where MWH offer an unrivalled service

to industry.

The large Shale Gas discoveries in North

America and Australia have resulted in

a significant role for MWH in helping

energy companies solve the complex

and costly process of water treatment

and gas extraction.

Often one of the most environmentally

sensitive issues; the potentially

large water volume requirements and

subsequent treatment and disposal

can greatly affect the commercial

viability of gas production. MWH has

extensive and perhaps unrivalled

experience in working at this junction

point between gas production and

water resource management.

Our engineers, scientists and

technicians have assisted several energy

and drilling companies to design and

build water resource systems that meet

the tight regulatory demands always

associated with Shale Gas extraction.

Our focus is providing innovative

engineering solutions that reduce our

client’s overall production costs to

ensure we demonstrate a valued service.

Our technical service is tailored to

suit the particular needs of our client

whether it be strategic consulting,

engineering design or construction. This

service is offered across all aspects

of the energy generation process from

gas extraction, storage, electricity

generation facilities, transmission and

eventual carbon capture and storage.
