Water management
The startup company’s Midland Basin demonstration plant, located in the Permian Basin, takes a major step toward commercialization by proving its direct lithium extraction technology can refine battery-grade lithium carbonate from produced water under multiple 24/7 production cycles.
This paper presents an approach to the identification, selection, and implementation of initiatives for sustainable water management, withdrawal reduction, and water valorization.
Disposal wells remain the lowest-cost solution for produced water, but concerns over seismicity and long-term sustainability are accelerating interest in alternatives.
-
The room for error and cost overruns just got a lot smaller with the escalating need to make operations more efficient and leaner with fewer resources and investors continuing to prioritize ESG alongside profitability. -
Cutbacks in oil and gas production and drilling and completions will result in a decrease in produced water and will also lead to a reduction in water infrastructure investment.
-
The fact sheet, in conjunction with other IPIECA water management guidance, is intended as a guide to explore opportunities to reuse produced water.
-
GWPC releases its third produced water report. Texas leads all states in produced water volume.
