About Us
Established in 2000, Rawwater Engineering is an oil industry service company providing research, consultancy and specialist ideation. We design, build and operate prototype equipment and create proprietary know-how and intellectual property in the fields of well technology, water management and materials science.
The original connection between our fields was, surprisingly, corrosion. Rawwater Engineering has developed a unique way in which to offer a coherent service to the industry. We do this by understanding thoroughly the design and materials of offshore injection and production wells and the ever changing chemistry and biology of water as it is pumped from the sea and through the reservoir. Our 'water chasing cycle' has become the focus for technology innovation borne from contract and in-house research and development.
And from a strong research base we generate our ideas. This process has evolved into a service to the industry in its own right: 'ideation' being the term for generating solutions to wide-ranging problems even beyond the water chasing cycle.
One technology initiated in such an ideation session was the C-FAST subsea 'raw water' injection module. In 1994 BP brought together the lead engineers, Tony Cousins (subsea) and Bob Eden (water management) to develop a low-cost reservoir pressurisation system. With funding from BP, Amerada Hess, Texaco and the large US offshore contractor J Ray McDermott, the first seabed prototype was built. Many subsea design studies followed.
Eden and Cousins discovered that their skills complemented well and at the end of the decade Rawwater Engineering was formed. The 'rawwater injection' philosophy created the original platform from which to launch Rawwater Engineering and has since been adopted around the world.
