"I didn’t know that they had that much lithium in their flow back water."

It depends on the specific composition of the brine at the specific location. They probably have struck a brine "pool" with a high lithium content.

Other brines have different abundances. Brine from an area in Arkansas happens to be very high in sodium bromide. Dow Chemical commercially produces bromine from that particular brine.
