Recovery for Beneficial Use
Recovery for Beneficial Use
The Key to Sustainable Exploration and Production (E&P)
We need energy and water. We can have them both.
Often these two global needs, to tap into resources for energy and for naturally available water, have been in conflict. Traditional treatment or disposal methods, such as reverse osmosis (RO), storage ponds with spraying, and injection wells, have numerous drawbacks or limitations which do not meet the reality of operational demands or the growing needs to recover fresh water from flowback and produced water.
Additionally, these traditional methods either work well or not at all. or they involve significant transportation with high costs and increased air pollution. by contrast, 212 Resources has the robust treatment process solution that enables water management from natural gas drilling and production to be cost effective while protecting, even enhancing, our water supply.
The conversion of high TDS waters to clean, distilled water for beneficial use (whether in drilling or for discharge) is the best means the natural gas industry has to maintain its desired level of drilling activity. The recovery of condensate and methanol adds to the economic advantages of "full recovery". Our calculations indicate that the water that could be recovered by the 212 Resources process and treatment standard from a dense, deep-frac drilling program from one major operator could provide clean water for a population of 100,000 people.
From the early days of the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act, ISO programs, zerodischarge operations, responsible production, the evolution of environmental management and SarbanesOxley (SOX), the beneficial use of recoverable materials has represented the pinnacle of success.
