More Information
Summary:The present disclosure provides for a method and system of providing source water and managing produced/flowback water during a hydraulic fracturing process in an oil and gas operation. The process provides for environmentally friendly methods of reducing use of fresh water and recycles frac water. The net result is that a volume of frac water is properly managed. Thus, less reliance on transportation vehicles and trucks reduces costs as well as reduction of piping systems. It further reduces a threat of seismic events from disposing of produced water and flowback.
