Stripper wells produce more saline than crude.
True, and NM is tightening the screws on these small producers mostly operated by small independent operators.
“Stripper wells produce more saline than crude.”
Shale wells produce 6-10 bbl of saline water for every bbl oil equivalent the long term average in the Midland Basin is six to one.
I know a couple of the UT Austin geos that worked on this type of produced water recycling, I am a Hydro Geo myself who is a state.licenced PG and can sign off on SWD injection wells or brine production wells or brackish water wells too.
