How fast the world and business conditions can change!
With WTI trading north of $105/bbl as March begins (up $15 in less than a week) U.S. oil production growth will be a major focus for the rest of the year.
As readers of this digest know very well, wastewater management is a critical path function for oil growth – for without proper H2O management, E&Ps have no flow assurance.
Just one week from now, at a critical time for the U.S. oilfield, we’ll be kicking off the most important conference of the year for business people in U.S. produced water.
There are many fresh new angles to discuss, executive fireside chat panels will deliver unique conversations that can only be heard here, and the networking opportunities are second to none due to the seniority of the attendee list!
300 folks are already registered, are you? Don’t miss this…Â Conference website: https://oilfieldwater.com/owmarkets2/

March 10-11, 2022 GOLD Conference Sponsor Spotlight: Re3us, LLC
Re3us, LLC markets systems that purify oil and produced water. One technology can take a wide variety of fluids, including oil, and remove suspended solids. The process separates an input fluid into hydrocarbons, salt water, and a residue of removed solids. With the additional components, the system can use reverse osmosis to remove large amounts of salt from water and, where any salt remains in the water, separate the salt by evaporating the water. A second technology takes produced water from which hydrocarbons have been separated and removes suspended solids such as iron, magnesium, manganese and hydrogen sulfide. This processed water, which may have a high salt content, can then be used as fracking and drilling fluids for oil and gas exploration and production. Both of these technologies can be mobile or stationary giving us great flexibility to service our existing customers. Come see our technology working “In Action” in the Exhibitors Hall at Booth 9 during the conference. Times for demonstrations are: March 10 – 7:30, 10:10, 12:30, 3:15, 5:15 and on March 11 – 7:30, 10, 12.
