Oil and gas production is usually associated with the production of relatively large amounts of water. As the life of the field increases, water production and related problems such as the losing a large part of the hydrocarbon reserves, decrease in oil production, increase in production costs, formation damages, etc. also increase; So far, excessive water production has been considered as one of the main challenges of mature fields. In this research, in order to screen the appropriate technology for solving the excessive produced water problem in one of the Iranian south oil fields, required technologies were identified and prioritized by employing the comprehensive approach. This approach was employed before conducting laboratory tests, simulation study, and pilot operation to save money and time. Therefore, before focusing on technical details, other contributing factors such as economy, environment, political/social aspects, market, technical capacities, and the effects of new technology entering the existing industrial ecosystem and finally the interaction of new technology with other industry components as a vital part in the technology development process were considered. Technology evaluation using the above-mentioned approach helps the organization's technology strategy development process. In order to perform the above methodology, sixteen technologies were identified in two categories of chemical and mechanical by reviewing scientific references and field preliminary data to reduce or eliminate excessive produced water. Fifteen attractiveness criteria and six criteria for evaluating the company's capability of using them were identified. These criteria were localized and weighted using the literature of technology management and experts' opinions. Using the questionnaire, data related to each technology was collected from the perspective of each criterion. Therefore, the position of the technology in the attractiveness-capability matrix was determined; "Mechanical plugs (cement bridge, etc.)", "Short liner", "side track", "casing patch", "Straddle Packer", "Horizontal drilling" and "Polymer gel" were determined as the technology portfolio for the organization and proposed as candidates for future detailed studies.
