SPE Water Life Cycle and Strategy Technical Section invites you to join the SPE Live Event: "Produced Water Management: Aligning Policy, Innovation, and Practice Across the Value Chain"
The oil and gas industry is increasingly recognizing produced water as a crucial resource, moving beyond traditional disposal methods towards sustainable management and beneficial reuse. This shift is driven by concerns such as induced seismicity, limited pore space for injection, aging infrastructure, and growing policy support for reuse opportunities, especially in Texas. A collaborative effort among midstream companies, regulators, and researchers is essential to develop a unified approach for managing produced water across all operations, both onshore and offshore.
The SPE Live will delve into several key areas, including the expanding role of water midstream companies in facilitating large-scale water reuse infrastructure and the contribution of independent research consortia in bridging the gap between legislation, scientific advancements, and practical implementation. The session will also cover the EPA's regional and national perspectives on water reuse, discharge policies, and permitting innovations, highlighting the need for strategic alignment among all stakeholders to mitigate investment risks in advanced water management solutions..
