Water for Fracking: Produced Water Treatment & Disposal Trends in Pennsylvania’s Marcellus Shale
Pennsylvania continues to set the pace for recycling produced water for fracking in the Marcellus shale, with more than 60% of the 25 million barrels stored and treated for multiple applications. At the close of 2016, reported wastewater production from Pennsylvania’s 6,538 permitted wells declined 54% to 11.8 million barrels from a historical high of 25 million barrels in the second half of 2014.
Bluefield has identified 25 companies treating the lion’s share of produced water for disposal and reuse from Pennsylvania’s Marcellus Shale. Our analysis ranks well operators and centralized produced water treatment facilities by wastewater volumes.
In this Data Insight, Bluefield water experts analyze:
- Pennsylvania’s Active Wells and Wastewater Production
- Wastewater Disposal Methods
- Fracking Activity by County and by Volume
- Pennsylvania Operator Wastewater Disposal Methods
- Top 25 Well Operators by Disposal Method
Coal (De)regulations Impact Water Sector
On 28 April 2017, a U.S. federal appeals court announced a 60-day stay on a final ruling on the 2015 Clean Power Plan, which mandates a 32% reduction below 2005 levels of carbon dioxide emissions from coal-fired electric power plants by 2030.
At the same time, coal plants around the U.S. are increasingly being replaced by natural gas and renewable power. Furthermore, as independent power providers and utilities distance themselves from coal, wastewater solutions providers are beginning to benefit from closures of coal ash storage facilities.
In this Research note, Bluefield water experts analyze how recent changes in the coal sector will impact opportunities in water, answering these key questions:
- How will the delay in environmental regulations impact the water for power sector?
- What does the decline in coal mean for for water solution providers?
- How will wastewater solution providers benefit from closures of coal ash facilities?
This analysis is available to clients of our US & Canada Industrial Water Insight service. More industrial water analysis from Bluefield.
Convergence of Water and Data Drives $20B U.S. Smart Water Forecast
The U.S. municipal water sector, which has traditionally been slow to adopt new technologies, sits at the cusp of change, with over $20 billion of forecasted spending over the next decade.
