Water

 Water, like religion and ideology, has the power 

to move millions of people. Since the very birth 

of human civilization, people have moved to 

settle close to it. People move when there is too 

little of it. People move when there is too much 

of it. People journey down it. People write, sing 

and dance about it. People fight over it. And all 

people, everywhere and every day, need it.

Mikhail Gorbachev
Why Is Water Important?

 Water is the most common and most heavily used fluid 

in the petroleum industry

 Water is produced along with oil and gas from nearly 

every well

 Water is used as a base fluid in production, drilling, and 

completion operations

 Water will be produced, recycled, injected, mixed, 

cleaned, and reinjected

 Water’s use and protection are emotionally charged 

subjects in many communities
Mid-Continent Water Operations General 

Comments

 Water is the major component of fracturing

• Water and its treatment, transportation and disposal costs from 

$3.50 to more than $15/bbl depending on the operating area

 Initial Water Sources

• Aquifers for the Granite Wash

• Surface water (ponds) for the Woodford Shale

 Our systems have evolved over the last six years as the 

Granite Wash and Woodford plays have been developed

• To using large frac ponds (from 100,000 to 500,000 bbl)

• Transporting the water through aluminum or poly lines

• Being able to frac at over 100 BPM
Mid-Continent Water Operations General 

Comments

 Granite Wash Operations recycle up to 80% of water 

used 

• Flowback /Produced water has relatively low chloride content 

(~10,000 ppm)

• Transported to recycle pits through poly lines

 Arkoma reuses 6% of produced water 

• Flowback /Produced water has chloride content in the 30,000 to 

70,000 ppm range

• Transported to recycle facility by trucks

• Cleaned and used as a brine source

• Combined with fresh water

Granite Wash Pit Data

 Britt Ranch

• Flow back

 7 pits

 total capacity of 2.4 million bbls

• Freshwater 

 10 pits

 total capacity of 1.3 million bbls

 Briscoe

• Flow back

 2 pits

 900,000 bbls capacity

 Reasons to use recycled water

• Saving Fresh Water – 250 million gallons per year

• Saving Money – KCl savings of $825,000

• Saving Space – KCl concentrate would have required 60 frac 

tanks

 Frac water requirement – 800,000 bbl

 Closest recycle water pit – 300,000 bbl

 Closest fresh water pit – 120,000 bbl

 To move water to the right place at the right time 

required:

• 14 transfer pumps

• 16 miles of 8” poly

• 10 miles of 4” poly

• 2 miles of 10” aluminum
