Understanding Saltwater Disposal
With close to 1 million producing oil and natural gas wells in the United States, the industry generates approximately 60 million barrels of produced water daily. This water originates from subsurface reservoirs during the extraction process, where it mixes with oil and gas and emerges at the surface. It can also include water injected into drill rigs or flowback water from hydraulic fracturing operations. Proper handling and disposal are essential to maintain operational efficiency and environmental compliance.
