Though your question is a bit vague, we believe you may referring to water (i.e., flowback and produced) management. As you may know, there has been a remarkable trend toward greater use of recycling technologies to ensure water is reused in future operations. As the overall shale development process has evolved, waste recycling and disposal techniques continue to advance as well.

As an industry, we promote best practices aimed at ensuring safe and responsible development, especially as it relates to protecting water resources and minimizing waste. Thanks to new, innovative water management technologies – along with strong, common sense environmental regulations – more water is being reused and recycled across our industry’s operations. These technologies make environment and economic sense.
