 volumes produced from new pad developments, and, unlike gas production, a producer cannot flare water if takeaway infrastructure is constrained. We believe that the necessity of transporting water away from the wellsite by pipeline makes our water gathering and transportation pipeline network critical infrastructure, as our customers would be forced to shut-in their production without reliable water handling capacity.

Water Handling Facilities

When water is transported from the wellsite or central gathering facility, it typically contains salt, chemicals and/or skim oil. At our water handling facilities, we filter and treat produced water and either inject it into underground disposal wells or recycle the treated water for further use in drilling activities. As of June 30, 2025, on a pro forma basis, we operated 195 produced water handling facilities with more than 4.4 million bpd of produced water handling capacity. In the process of treating produced water at our water handling facilities, we often recover residual skim oil that remains in the water stream. We generate revenue by selling that skim oil at prevailing market prices, less applicable discounts.

Water Solutions

We sell brackish and produced water to our customers for use in their drilling and completion operations. We also provide produced water treatment and recycling services and sell recycled water to our customers for use in drilling and completion operations. We charge contracted fees per barrel of water sold.

Energy Waste Management Facilities

As our energy waste management business, Desert Environmental owns and operates two fluid waste reclamation facilities, one stationary treatment facility and two solid waste management facilities in the Delaware Basin, all newly constructed as of 2023. Desert Environmental’s state-of-the-art landfills have advanced processing capabilities with ample remaining landfill capacity that can handle more than 20 years of waste at current activity levels. Desert Environmental’s reclamation facilities are co-located with our landfills and use advanced separation technologies to extract hydrocarbons from solid and fluid waste products with the capacity to handle more than 200 trucks per day. Desert Environmental’s stationary treatment facility uses a state-of-the-art dewatering and separation process to extract usable materials and prepare residuals for the next steps in energy waste management. Desert Environmental receives energy waste product from numerous third party producers in the Delaware Basin and substantially all of our solid waste, which are then treated by separating production solids and recapturing
