West Texas has enough lithium for the entire world. There is over 100,000 wells on flow back in the Permian basin. The amounts of lithium in the flow back water is staggering. The average oil to water ratio in the Permian is six bbl of salt water to in a bbl oil equivalent. Oil wells are in actuality contaminated salt water wells with the hydrocarbons as a byproduct of the water flow. The oil has value and is sold the salt water is a liability and; Currently it is just pumped back down a SWD well and thrown away one of my alma mater is working hard to change this. GO HORNS!

I wondered about that, but didn’t have time at lunch to check what the mineral content was. I do remember going over there 20 or so years ago, and buying some water. They had deep well and shallow well available. They warned that you needed to be careful with the shallow well water because it would have a laxative effect in quantity.
