Proper water management is fundamental to Permian Basin oil and gas production. The production-water management equation has two parts: providing water to drill and complete new wells, and taking flowback and produced water away from the wellhead once production starts. 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.

Here are some highlights from the report:
- Select exceeded its targets for produced water recycling by 118%, as established as part of our sustainability-linked credit facility.
- Select surpassed the industry average safety performance by 49%.
- Approximately 51% of our workforce, including 35% of employees in management positions, consists of individuals from historically underrepresented racial or ethnic backgrounds.

This is the basis of their remote autonomous IoT systems that are successfully working in continuous field operations to conserve and monitor precious produced water resources for storage and reuse, especially in high temperature environments.

Let’s enjoy the respite and hope it keeps lasting…"

Key quote in this morning's first oilfield EPS press release of 2Q23 earnings season: "North America revenue in the second quarter of 2023 was $2.7 billion, a 2% decrease sequentially. This decline was primarily driven by decreased stimulation activity in U.S. land, which was partially offset by increased artificial lift activity in U.S. land, and higher activity across multiple product service lines in the Gulf of Mexico."
