Who are we?
We founded the company in 2012, because we believe that water is the most pressing issue facing our generation (and future generations). Maintaining the status quo in water and wastewater management is no longer an option and requires new strategies, alternative business models, and innovative solutions. Bluefield was launched to be at the leading edge of this change to support companies as they confront the challenge.

By leveraging our industry experience and leadership– company ownership and management– of other leading market research firms, clients receive unique, actionable intelligence.
We have in-depth and demonstrated knowledge of the water, environmental services, oil & gas, renewable energy, power, and telecom sectors that is increasingly valuable as water takes on a greater economic and critical role for cities and businesses, globally.

What’s in a name?
The origin of Bluefield came about for several reasons. Our team of water experts is focused on identifying new, or greenfield opportunities. This led us to: water + greenfield = bluefield.
Secondly, “Bluefield” is of historical significance. In 1935 the U.S. Supreme Court ruled in Bluefield Water Works and Improvement Co. v. Public Service Commission of West Virginia that regulated utilities are entitled to earn a fair and reasonable rate of return on their capital investments. Like the landmark case, we strive to set the standard for research in water going forward.
