EXECUTIVE LEADERSHIP PANEL - IDENTIFYING ALTERNATIVES TO DISPOSAL TO INCREASE CAPACITY

09:05 Identifying Alternatives To Saltwater Disposal To Transform Produced Water Into A Resource 

In a bid to tackle induced seismicity in the Permian Basin, the Texas Railroad Commission recently restricted the injection of produced water into saltwater disposal wells between the cities of Midland and Odessa. Similar restrictions are also enforced across key counties in New Mexico. Meanwhile, the Texas Produced Water Consortium will produce a report in September 2022 suggesting regulatory changes to facilitate the reuse of produced water for beneficial practices such as irrigation or industrial cooling

Dedicated to sharing current best practices on adopting new technology to either economically reuse produced water or treat it for any other kind of discharge other than traditional deep well injection. The panel features multiple perspectives talking through the most economical approach for converting produced water with plenty of time at the end for a curated questions and discussion session.

PANEL - HIGH-VALUE ANALYSIS OF PRODUCED WATER CHEMISTRIES AND MINERAL ELEMENTS

11:10 Analyzing The Chemical & Mineral Content Of Produced Water To Identify Commercial Opportunities For Operators To Treat For Beneficial Reuse

How can the industry gain a better understanding of how to more consistently predict the actual trace elements contained in a particular flow of produced water to determine beneficial value? Subsurface brines can be a major source of lithium as well as gadolinium which are both valuable to the high-tech industries. There are also additional elements and rare earths like iodine, bromine and selenium that are potential revenue generators to be monetized. But which ones could offer the most potential and best netback?
