Houston-based Select Energy Services, water management provider, said last month it will begin operations by the end of 2021Q1 on two water reuse and recycling projects serving customers in Midland and Delaware basins. John Schmitz, president and CEO, said Select will “partner with two leading E&P companies in the Permian Basin to provide full life-cycle produced water recycling solutions that we believe will both lower our customers’ operating costs and reduce their environmental footprint.” The two projects will bring Select’s total centralized produced water recycling capacity in Permian Basin to about 250,000 barrels of water per day, supplemented by the company’s mobile recycling technologies.
Construction started on the first $5 million facility serving Martin and Midland counties that will support recycling of up to 50,000 barrels of water per day with 2 million barrels of storage capacity. Another facility is being developed in Loving County designed to recycle up to 30,000 b/d supported by 1 million barrels of adjacent recycled water storage capacity.
Select Energy Services also said it made a $3 million investment in Deep Imaging, a provider of proprietary frac fluid tracking and imaging technology to the onshore oil and gas industry. Schmitz added, “We believe it is critical to understand the interplay downhole of the water and chemical solutions we provide our customers within the reservoir on a stage-by-stage basis.”
