Lea County is one of the biggest oil and gas counties in the entire lower 48. Worst case scenario there is commodity price implications here.

Really depends on the reservoir and the amount of connate water. It's not near as bad in South Texas around the eagle Ford just due to less water. The Delaware basin is a water field that makes some oil and gas too...
100% this. Although it's a chicken egg situation. There wouldn't be near as much produced water without fracing since the wells wouldn't have been drilled in the first place so no need to dispose of produced water. The injection of produced water typically pressures up and lubricates existing fault planes causing them to slip.
Look up the Wink sink, God has already tried lol
Funny thing is these don't meet ANSI Z89.1 and therefore can't be used in most workplaces
Lots of produced water from oil&gas wells can have amounts of lithium in it. Is this a need for freshwater or oil&gas waste water?
I do this all the time. If it's going to be cheap chinesium grade stuff I'd rather buy it from AliExpress for cheaper and wait a couple days
Am from southern US, my grandma would not approve ๐
