 scalable water handling network that aggregates volumes from multiple producers. The challenges of developing a single producer network have grown as E&P companies have shifted to larger pad developments with more wells drilled from a single pad and longer horizontal laterals, resulting in greater volumes of water concentrated within a given surface location. An E&P company must shut-in oil and natural gas production if it does not have reliable offtake for its produced water volumes, which provides a significant economic incentive to ensure reliable produced water handling capacity. While many E&P companies initially developed and operated their own localized produced water handling networks given the importance of flow assurance to their production operations, we believe that the capital expenditures required to develop a single-producer water infrastructure network that is capable of handling pad development and significantly higher initial production volumes is an inefficient use of capital for E&P companies. By aggregating volumes from multiple producers, a third-party network can realize higher utilizations and improve the economics of infrastructure development, allowing E&P customers to redeploy capital for use in development and production activities instead of developing and maintaining water infrastructure.

We manage our extensive infrastructure network through the use of our state-of-the-art centralized operations center. Our operations center is the purpose-built centralized communication hub for our business and is responsible for coordinating activities between our field operations and external stakeholders. Our operations center is staffed 24 hours per day, seven days per week and enables us to continually monitor data from various devices to ensure we

are able to promptly detect and respond to any anomalies or emergencies. This includes tracking pressures, temperatures, flow rates, mechanical equipment and alarms. This infrastructure allows us to achieve a less than 2% error rate in monitoring volumes into and off our system, a figure we believe is industry leading. We employ a number of different monitoring systems, such as camera leak detection artificial intelligence (“AI”) and optical gas imaging, designed to ensure the safety of our people, our assets and our environment.

In addition to field coordination and safety management, our operations center includes field automation capabilities through which we remotely optimize injection, improve efficiency and reduce costs. Such adjustments include remotely controlling the speed of pumps, opening and closing valves, regulating automation setpoints and optimizing electrical power usage. Through these comprehensive monitoring and optimization efforts, we believe that our operations center has provided us with significant financial benefits in reduced labor costs and operational efficiencies.

We believe that our proprietary data analysis technology, namely our WAVE platform, further differentiates us from our competitors. WAVE is a fully customized water forecasting software
