Houston Chron's Chris Tomlinson takes on abandoned wells. Mainstream media interest in the subject keeps growing.

Dave Keyte, Founder and CEO of Caerus, added: “We completed the largest water treatment facility in the western U.S in order to recycle 100% of our produced water for frac'ing purposes, greatly reducing the need for fresh water and further reducing truck traffic."

Reuters reported that APA Corporation is considering selling its oil and gas drilling properties in the Permian basin, for roughly $1 billion. The drilling assets are in different sub-sections of the Permian Basin, namely the Northwest Shelf, the Northern Shelf, and the Central Basin Platform in New Mexico and Texas. The sites produce more than 22,000 barrels of oil equivalent per day combined, of which roughly 60% is oil, the sources said.

The handling of produced water from unconventional reservoirs calls for tailored methodologies crucial for its containment. These methods maintain the longevity of the environment from a multitude of angles, discussed in this article.

Cosmos wrote an article on how they helped Texas-based water midstream operator tap into accurate Business Central data, drill into detailed reports, and make proactive decisions.

New analysis of a database of over 620,000 hydraulically fractured and conventional wells in North America found that more than 355 billion tonnes of salts were produced from 2005 to 2019, with HF wells contributing over 85%.

The oil and gas industry has long been scrutinized for its environmental impact, particularly concerning water usage and contamination. However, in recent years, there has been a significant shift towards more sustainable practices, especially in water recycling.

The cause of these quakes has yet to be determined, but a scientist with the United States Geological Survey told The Dallas Morning News that they were likely induced by oil and gas operations.

By doubling the volume of water recycled in the Delaware Basin and achieving major milestones such as recycling 50 million barrels at the Midland South Curtis Ranch, Occidental is not only reducing water disposal costs but also advancing their commitment to environmental stewardship.

Residents at the sprawling Terlingua Ranch near Big Bend National Park will limit residents to 1,000 gallons of nondrinking water per month.

The issue of what to do with produced water contaminated by its use in fracking is being dealt with in a variety of ways that are becoming more creative and effective by the year.

As the oil and gas industry continues to seek innovative solutions for managing produced water, aquifer recharge has emerged as a promising and sustainable approach.
