Permian Water Management: A Viable Emerging Market or a Tragedy of the Commons in the Making?
Managing the growth of produced water volumes in the Permian Basin will prove a critical element to oil and natural gas production in the basin. While the magnitude of the water volume poses challenges for the industry, it also provides many opportunities.
The Permian Basin has become a critical asset for the economic future of Texas and New Mexico, as well as the entire U.S. In 2018, the Permian Basin’s 3.3 MMbbld of oil production was greater than all but five other countries – Saudi Arabia, Russia, Iraq, Canada, and Iran. The application of horizontal drilling, hydraulic fracture stimulation, and other innovative technologies in the Permian Basin since 2010 have caused oil and natural gas production to soar. Since 2007, Permian oil and gas production are up by almost 270% and 70%, respectively. This growth is not without its challenges: areas of the Permian produce more water per barrel of oil than any other production play in the country. How oilfield water management evolves is critical to the success of the broader oil industry and, by extension, Texas, New Mexico, and the country.
Challenges & Opportunities: Understanding the Magnitude of the Problem
- How much water is needed for hydraulic fracture stimulation and how much produced water will be generated?
- How will the subsurface disposal industry evolve? Where is new disposal capacity needed? Will interbasin or interstate transport be needed?
- Will seismic concerns and capacity thresholds (natural or imposed) alter the location, permitting, development, and use of disposal wells?
- What roles will recycling and reuse play and how will they impact the disposal industry?
- What should the ultimate scope and scale of the water management service industry be: sub-area, state-wide, interstate?
- Is producer ownership of disposal assets the best means to protect producers’ interests or can midstream companies provide lower cost and more reliable service?
Permian Water Management: A Viable Emerging Market or a Tragedy of the Commons in the Making? combines B3’s oilfield water data expertise with Drillinginfo’s production and oilfield economics data knowledge to address these questions.
