Water Management and Recycling
Water Recycle, Design and Treatment
Water is an integral part of drilling and completion projects and is commanding a growing amount of attention and discussion. Whether you need water for fracturing operations or you need to remove produced water, Basin Engineering has the experience to help you plan and implement an economically and environmentally viable solution for your project.
Supply and demand of water for fracturing operations varies significantly between basins. Some basins require more water supply while others produce ample water that requires treatment before reuse. In all cases, the cost-benefit will be different.
Basin Engineering understands the dynamics of water in each formation and can help you evaluate your options for water acquisition, treatment and disposal to help you minimize risk. Fracturing with recycled water can offer the following benefits:
- Reduce water consumption and disposal volume
- Reduce overall water life cycle costs
- Potential improvement in compatibility with formation
- Potential improvement in total fracturing fluid cost
The Basin team is committed to educating the oil industry on the use of recycled water for fracturing operations. For the last three years Basin Engineering has hosted an annual workshop on fracturing with recycled water. If you would like to be notified of our next workshop, sign up with your email below.

Quick Case Study Fracturing with Recycled Water in the STACK
Water is a scarce resource in the STACK play and fracturing operations for a well require millions of gallons of water.
Moreover, a large percentage of the water used stays downhole, making the smaller percentage of flowback more valuable.
The challenge: Develop a process to remove undesirable material from the flowback water and enhance it for production use. Achieve costs equal to or less than cost to acquire, use and dispose of fresh water.
The solution: Aerated Biologic Treatment initially tested in 5 sites in SCOOP play. Favorable results led to new use at 2 sites in the STACK play.
