Husky Energy says 900,000 litres of produced water spilled from one of its pipelines in northwestern Alberta.

Over the next two decades, oil and gas production is projected to account for 68 percent of energy consumption in the U.S. and will play a key role in the energy transition to a low carbon future, according to a new report published by the U.S. Department of Energy.

It was Andrew Swiger, the chief financial officer at Exxon Mobil Corp., who summarized the attitude of the whole industry after Big Oil ended reporting another dismal set of quarterly earnings: “Prices will have to rise.”

President Donald Trump is considering an executive order on fracking as he criticizes Democratic nominee Joe Biden’s stance on energy policy.

President Donald Trump is reportedly preparing to sign an executive order that would mandate the analysis of fracking and its effects on the economy in one final campaign push to defend the technology that made the U.S. the world’s largest oil and gas producer last year.

In its closing days the presidential campaign has re-energized the ongoing debate over “fracking.”

Oil gained following the broader risk-on sentiment in markets, and as OPEC+ inches closer to delaying a planned easing of output cuts.

"Looking specifically at our water infrastructure, we are fully integrated with nine water recycling facilities, 40 operated saltwater disposal wells, and connections to several third-party water systems. This operating scale and flexibility allows us to source more than 90% of our operational water needs from either recycled or brackish water at costs that are well below market rates."

"Strong performance in water management, including recycled 100% of our water recovered in our Marcellus drilling, completion and production operations, which began in 2011 will continue to make us financially and environmentally superior as pressures for lower carbon and water conserving economies – economic intensify."

Water is an integral part of our transition story, not only because it does not require incremental demand to drive growth, but also it’s important delivering enhanced environmental solutions to our customers and provides us multi-industry applications over the medium to long-term.

"Another environmental and social focus is water, which is an important resource in our drilling and completion operations and for the public. Through a comprehensive approach to water usage optimization, water recycling and water conservation projects. We're delivering tangible benefits to the environment and the communities where we work and live. For the past four years, we've returned as much or more freshwater than we have consumed back to the watersheds in the communities where we operate."
