Is The Permian Glass Half Full Of Produced Water?

Proper water management is fundamental to Permian Basin oil and gas production.

Millions of barrels of water are needed to complete a well on the front end of this equation, but billions of barrels of water are produced on the back end, most of which is disposed underground. As the industry strives toward better water stewardship goals like recycling and beneficial reuse, impacts to disposal options in the meantime can hamstring energy production.
