From Source to System: Solving the Permian’s Water Challenges

The Permian Basin generates enormous volumes of produced water — and for years, injecting it back underground was the only answer. Today, roughly 65% of Permian frac demand is met with recycled produced water. How did the industry get here, and where does it go next? In this episode of The Water Exchange, Select Water Solutions' Whitney Faircloth and Brandon Prill trace the full journey — from lay flat hose and disposal wells to a network of 20+ recycling facilities, 35+ million barrels of interconnected storage, and over one billion barrels of produced water recycled and reused for completions. They discuss the logistics of water balancing across multiple operators, the technology stack behind Select's remote operations center, and what emerging opportunities in lithium extraction and beneficial reuse could mean for the industry's future. A candid, experience-driven conversation at the intersection of infrastructure, operations, and sustainability in the oil field. Learn more at selectwater.com

En fantastisk app med et enormt stort udvalg af spændende podcasts. Podimo formår virkelig at lave godt indhold, der takler de lidt mere svære emner. At der så også er lydbøger oveni til en billig pris, gør at det er blevet min favorit app.

Rigtig god tjeneste med gode eksklusive podcasts og derudover et kæmpe udvalg af podcasts og lydbøger. Kan varmt anbefales, om ikke andet så udelukkende pga Dårligdommerne, Klovn podcast, Hakkedrengene og Han duo 😁 👍
Podimo er blevet uundværlig! Til lange bilture, hverdagen, rengøringen og i det hele taget, når man trænger til lidt adspredelse.
