DWM LogoSearch

The Produced Water Management Information System is an online resource for technical and regulatory information for managing produced water, including current practices, state and federal regulations, and guidelines for optimal management practices.

Visitors can use these resources to:

  • learn about industry standard practices;
  • determine which regulatory requirements must be met;
  • select optimal management strategies for their location and circumstances.
:: Introduction to Produced Water ::

*** ATTENTION - IMPORTANT NOTICE ***

Argonne National Laboratory developed the Produced Water Management Information System (PWMIS) website and opened it for public use in June 2007. Later that year, the U.S. Department of Energy, National Energy Technology Laboratory (NETL), which funded development of PWMIS, directed Argonne to transfer hosting of PWMIS to NETL’s own website. As of August 1, 2008, PWMIS is available on the NETL website at http://www.netl.doe.gov/technologies/PWMIS/. During August 2008, PWMIS will be available at both its original location and the new location. On or about September 1, 2008, the original Argonne version of PWMIS will be discontinued and will only be available at the NETL location. You may want to bookmark the new address.

Thank you for your interest and usage of PWMIS.
