Oil and gas wastewater management 

ureka Resources provides industry leading technology and oil and gas wastewater 

management services for the pretreatment, recycling and disposal of wastewater from natural 

gas drilling and production operations in the Marcellus and Utica Shales.

Eureka is based in Williamsport, Pennsylvania, and has focused on serving oil and natural gas producers 

working in the Marcellus and Utica Shale plays since 2008. Eureka provides turnkey oil and gas 

wastewater management services that allow for the convenient treatment of flowback and production 

wastewater for reuse in drilling operations. The company also serves producers with cost-effective, 

efficient disposal solutions for wastewater and residual solids in compliance with all Pennsylvania 

Department of Environmental Protection (PADEP) regulations.

Eureka has 

permitted two 

additional facilities – 

one in Standing 

Stone Township 

and one off Reach 

Road in 

Williamsport, PA. Construction of both facilities 

has been initiated.

Gas well wastewater treatment facilities

s the needs of natural gas development and production companies working in Pennsylvania 

have increased, Eureka Resources has expanded to meet their production requirements for 

adequate pretreatment, recycling, and disposal of gas well wastewater. The company currently 

provides centralized treatment, recycling and/or disposal of flowback/produced waters (wastewaters), as 

well as waste drilling fluids generated as a result of nonconventional natural gas exploration and 

development activities in the Marcellus Shale. Eureka placed its first centralized pretreatment facility in 

operation in November 2008 in Williamsport, PA with a capacity of approximately 4,800 barrels per day 

(bpd) or 200,000 gallons per day. The facility was originally permitted by the PADEP Bureau of Waste 

Management under WMGR119. In 2010, Eureka opened an expanded centralized treatment facility which 

is currently capable of treating/recycling up to 10,000 bpd (420,000 gallons) of flowback/produced 

wastewater daily. The facility permit was converted to a WMGR123 permit at this same time, as authorized 

by the PADEP Bureau of Waste Management.

ureka has the most comprehensive centralized wastewater treatment capabilities in the 

Marcellus play. Eureka’s customers request various levels of treatment with the goal of 

maximizing recycle of:

◾ Pretreated Water – water treated to reduce the suspended solids and heavy metals content and 

readily-settleable dissolved constituents.

◾ Distilled Water – water treated to remove more soluble dissolved solids,

◾ Concentrated Brine – water very high in TDS which can be reused as a drilling fluid additive

ureka is in the process of planning, permitting, designing, and constructing additional facilities to 

provide wastewater treatment/disposal services in support of nonconventional E&P activities.

Concentrated Brine Management Options:

◾ Further centralized treatment using mechanical vapor recompression (MVR) crystallizers, with 

beneficial reuse of a dewatered sodium chloride, calcium chloride and other purge stream byproducts

◾ Deep well injection in Ohio and/or West Virginia

◾ Tertiary treatment of distilled water using membrane biological reactors (MBR) followed by reverse 

osmosis (RO) to generate dewasted water for unrestricted reuse [Patent Pending].

◾ Establishment of up to three more centralized treatment facilities in Pennsylvania, as well as possible 

expansion into Ohio and West Virginia.

◾ Dedicated producer centralized or satellite treatment and/or storage facilities.

Eureka’s facilities are designed and permitted as mirror facilities. The actual unit processes installed and 

operational at each facility are dependent on the geographic needs of the customers utilizing the facility 

and the applicable regulatory requirements

E&P wastewater management – Williamsport, PA

he Williamsport 2 Street facility opened in 2008 and was expanded in 2010. The location of 

our Williamsport facility helps to reduce truck traffic and ensure a viable, cost-effective E&P 

wastewater management strategy. Our customers appreciate their ability to reduce fresh water 

use and reduce their costs associated with well sustainability, pretreatment, recycling, and disposal.

Capabilities

his facility successful treats as much as 420,000 gallons per day of wastewater from drilling and 

production operations. The facility analyzes and treats wastewater from hydrofracturing and 

flowback, as well as produced water, mud and other residual solids. The 2nd Street facility was 

the first in Pennsylvania to use Mechanical Vapor Recompression (MVR) units to recover as much as 95 

percent distilled water from gas well wastewater, which is returned to our customers for immediate reuse. 

This facility is also equipped to handle oil recovery. The facility has an indirect discharge permit allowing 

discharge of distilled water to the Williamsport Sewer Authority. The facility will soon have methanol 

rectification capability.

Capacity

This facility successful treats as much as 420,000 gallons per day of wastewater from drilling 

and production operations.

Wastewater pretreatment – Williamsport Reach Road Facility

ureka Resources has opened its third facility, located on Reach Road in Williamsport, 

convenient to Marcellus Shale production sites. This facility was built in 2013 to meet the 

growing need for pretreatment of flowback and produced wastewater from gas wells in the 

area. The facility can store more than a million and a half gallons of wastewater from oil and gas 

production prior to pretreatment. At this facility, bag filtration is used to remove high concentrations of 

Total Dissolved Solids.

Capabilities

he second phase of construction will be completed in 2014 and will provide pretreatment of raw 

wastewater from well sites and will offer treated distilled water for immediate drilling and 

production reuse.

Capacity

hen the second phase of construction is complete, this facility will have capacity to pretreat 

420,000 gallon per day.

Gas well wastewater treatment – Standing Stone Facility

n March 2013, Eureka Resources broke ground on the construction of a new oil and gas well 

wastewater treatment facility to serve producers involved in Marcellus Shale development. This 

facility will be located just off of Route 6 in Standing Stone Township, Bradford County, near 

Towanda, PA. Like the Williamsport plant, this facility is conveniently located for developers and 

producers.

Capabilities

his facility will provide pretreatment of raw wastewater from well sites and will offer treated 

distilled water for immediate drilling and production reuse. The first phase for this plant, to be 

completed in 2013, will offer pretreatment, as well as crystallizer technology, which processes 

wastewater into distilled water and commercial grade sodium chloride. In 2014, second phase construction 

will allow for brine crystallization to generate commercial grade calcium chloride. That second phase also 

will include the addition of membrane biological reactor (reverse osmosis) treatment capabilities to allow 

direct discharge and unrestricted reuse of treated water. Methanol rectification capability and oil recovery 

capabilities are also being considered for this facility.

Capacity

he Standing Stone facility will have a capacity of 420,000 gallons per day of wastewater 

pretreatment, plus this plant will have the capacity to process up to 5,000 barrels of wastewater 

per day using the crystallization process.
