water reuse/recycling

Diamondback Energy has agreed to spin off its water operations. Now, who’s next?

Select Water Solutions will focus on water management and added assets in the Permian Basin.

Before 2012, water management for unconventional oil and gas plays was in its infancy and was trying to keep up with operations. Today, many of the initial challenges have been resolved but new challenges persist. What does the future hold for water in the US onshore unconventional plays?

The Evolution Pipeline System will help to mitigate Permian Basin seismicity through produced water recycling and diversion of produced water from areas of high seismicity.

This paper presents case studies of how produced-water salinity data was used to transform the performance of two oil-producing fields in Nigeria.

The produced water conundrum in the Permian Basin will be solved by a mix of recycling, disposal, and future breakthroughs in technology currently being studied.

This case history explores a multiwell sectional development in the Delaware Basin by a small operator who reduced drilling and completion costs, along with lease operating expenses, by turning undesirable produced water into an asset.

While it is one of the top producers of liquid hydrocarbons in the US, New Mexico is also among the driest. The issue has culminated in a restriction on new freshwater leases issued by the state and a push for more recycling of produced water.

The complete paper focuses on sources of produced water from conventional and unconventional onshore oil and gas operations and addresses the challenges and opportunities associated with reusing the produced water.

The Eddy State Complex adds 300,000 B/D of recycled produced-water treatment capacity in the northern Delaware Basin. The company said it is on track to recycle 25 million bbl of produced water this year.
