ERI hires oil expert from Schlumberger

Energy Recovery Inc has hired seasoned oil and gas expert Ismail Nawaz as its vice president, oil and gas product development.

With over 25 years of experience at Schlumberger, Nawaz will bring his extensive expertise in product development and commercialization to lead ERI’s planned expansion strategy into the oil and gas market.

ERI says it is looking to build on its strong position in the desalination market to refine products and applications for new, large addressable markets. ERI technologies serve to repurpose pressure energy that is otherwise lost in high-pressure fluid applications, and the oil and gas market represents a compelling new business opportunity.

The company anticipates that Nawaz’s unique skills in management, product development, and market development will accelerate ERI’s penetration into the oil and gas market and help establish it as a leader in energy recovery for this new market.
