Historically, water transfer services have relied heavily on manual processes, which can be resource-intensive and prone to human error. Automation changes that by improving efficiency and reliability.

A new partnership is launching a next-generation, solids-free produced water recycling system.

Katie Smye, principal investigator at the Center for Injection and Seismicity Re­search, The University of Texas at Austin, coordinates a major project that is looking at the regional plumbing system in the Permian Basin, with the dual aims of understanding how prob­lems related to water injection arise as well as better predicting how long safe injection can go on for.

On February 3, 2026, Pennsylvania’s Environmental Hearing Board (EHB) denied a motion by CNX to dismiss an appeal from James and Barbara Ullom regarding significant water loss on their Washington County property.

Chevron acquired Antina Ranch, a 22,000-acre property in Crane County, according to public records filed Feb. 3.

The buyer was listed as Crane Property Holdings, a company sharing the same address as Chevron's headquarters in San Ramon, California, according to records cited by Bloomberg.

Kraken Operating, LLC, who notified the North Dakota Oil and Gas Division of the spill, reported the release of 1,200 barrels of produced water onto location. As of Tuesday, Feb., all of the produced water was recovered.

That’s according to a report released yesterday at the Legislature by environmental advocacy group WildEarth Guardians along with over 20 other organizations. While that number has declined over time, the volume of these spills is actually increasing.

Oil prices rose more than 1% on Wednesday, buoyed by potential supply risks should tensions between the U.S. and Iran escalate, while draws of crude from key stockpiles suggested stronger demand.
