ENCORE GREEN LCC ANNOUNCES THER ROLL OUT OF BENEFICIAL USE OF PRODUCED WATER WITH AG PARTNERS

(MIDLAND, TEXAS) - Encore Green Environmental LLC (EGE), announced their immediate plans treat produced water for beneficial use with Texas agriculture partners with Nomad Excel water technology developed specifically to assist in drought conditions. ESG is proud to announce today that their years of dedication to this goal has not been in vain.

As part of the treatment program, EGE has partnered the technology with West Texas legacy landowner, Cody Wilson, owner of Wilson Farms, to produced water and apply the clean water to the surface estate for agricultural beneficial uses and for Wilson’s non-edible crops.

“I look forward to being part of this project with EGE because without it, I don’t see our type of farming lasting in this part of the world,” said Wilson.

Wilson, who has deep ties to his family lands and its natural resources, has joined EGE in effort to provide and find solutions for regions where source water is scarce. Without the efforts of EGE to put produced water to beneficial us on crop lands, farmers like Wilson will face startling realities for reliable water sources for their crop futures.

EGE is the owner of proven technology and the water treatment equipment, known as NOMAD EXCEL, and units are ready to move onto Wilson’s lands. According to Darlene Nash, Owner of Encore Green, “There is nothing more important than the use of this technology now available to benefit soil health and climate wellness.”

To further their position, Wilson has also entered into a contractual agreement with an industry midstream partner to provide the produced water for treatment and beneficial use. By treating and using the produced water that would otherwise be disposed of, thereby removing it permanently from the water cycle, Wilson hopes to show landowners and operators within the industry that working together, solutions are available and affordable.

EGE is set apart from others in the produced water recycling sphere by the end use product available for agriculture. The goal is to continue focus on treating produced water for the purpose of industry re-use and providing a bridge between the industry and landowners. It also recognizes that as seismicity continues, disposal constraints increase, and overall water scarcity becomes more prevalent.

We're All Stewards

We’re all stewards of something. Whether it’s our job, our home, our mode of transportation, or our finances, all of us can point to parts of life that were delegated or entrusted to us by someone “higher up the chain.”

That’s the basic meaning of stewardship: taking care of something that may or may not belong to you. In a technical sense, stewardship is “the careful and responsible management of something entrusted to one’s care” (Merriam-Webster). In the area of climate wellness, you might think of stewardship as taking care of the earth and its natural resources, particularly the land. And you might be tempted to assume that this role has been exclusively entrusted to a few key players: farmers, ranchers, energy companies, agribusiness conglomerates, governments, and the like.

But the reality is we all have a role to play when it comes to “carefully and responsibly managing” the land.

To begin with, land stewardship affects all of us, and so it should matter to—and be a priority for—all of us. You don’t have to be a wheat farmer or a cattle rancher to feel the effects of land stewardship, whether positive or negative. Consider modern debates about pollution and climate change. Wherever you stand on how to address and curb those issues, many professionals in relevant industries agree that improving soil health (no doubt a component of land stewardship) reduces the total volume of carbon in the atmosphere by “sinking” carbon in the ground, also called “carbon sequestration.”

Simply put, if there’s more carbon in the soil, there’s less carbon in the air. And if that’s true, then we should all be looking for ways to partner with landowners, non-profits, and governments to promote this process. Even if we won’t directly experience the benefits of proper land stewardship ourselves, this movement is critical for future generations—our children, and their children, and so on.

There’s a spiritual impetus as well. For those who ascribe to a Judeo-Christian worldview, the scriptures are pointedly instructive on matters of stewardship, and specifically land stewardship. In the first creation account, for example, God places humans on the earth to partner with Him in managing and stewarding the land and the wildlife—in a phrase, to “be fruitful and multiply” on the earth (see Gen. 1:26-30).

Likewise, in the second account, God plants a garden in the desert and commissions humans to “till it and keep it” (see Gen. 2:4-15). The wisdom of the Torah suggests, moreover, that part of land stewardship is ensuring plenty for others, since God repeatedly instructed the Israelites to leave the “edges” of their fields for other people, namely the poor, the foreigner, the widow, and the orphan (see, e.g., Lev. 19:9-10, 23:22; Deut. 24:19-22). So, even though we can’t expect to get it right every time, land stewardship is a crucial function for everyone who bears the divine image (all of us).

The teachings of Jesus similarly evidence that responsible and productive stewardship is part of our common calling as people of faith. Take the parable of the talents, for instance. A master leaves investments with three servants. The two servants who work to double the master’s investment are commended and deemed “good and trustworthy,” while the servant who fearfully buries the master’s investment is dubbed “wicked and lazy” (see Matt. 24:14-30). The lesson here, of course, is that we will (both literally and figuratively) reap what we sow (see Gal. 6:7-10). As “People of the Book,” then, we must be active and diligent in the land stewardship arena.

Even so, that nagging temptation to doubt lingers. After all, isn’t land stewardship work reserved for folks who actually own land, or for the governments who regulate it? Maybe not. Sure, we could all go on griping that “they” aren’t doing enough to take care of the environment. We could all moan and groan that environmental investment dollars are just earmarked for protests and lobbying. And we could all resign ourselves to sorting the trash, eating vegan, and crossing our fingers that those approaches will be enough. Or instead, we could actually be the change.

Enter a nonprofit called Synergy for Ecological Solutions. Synergy has developed a charitable giving platform—known as the YOU360 program—that will connect your dollars to flesh-and-blood owners of open land who are involved with the “on the ground” work of land stewardship. And with the help and expertise of the Carbon Asset Network—a for-profit outfit that distributes Synergy’s funds to qualifying landowners of all stripes—your donations will go toward increasing the availability of emerging practices and equipment that bolster soil health and therefore boost overall climate wellness. In short, you can sponsor the change we all want to see. Or as Synergy puts it: you, the Change Agent, are “the solution to climate wellness through soil health.”

Let’s not overlook this chance to get some skin in the game. By partnering with Synergy, we can take an intentional step toward land stewardship, live into our divine role of caring for God’s good earth, and preserve nature’s resources for those who come after us.

HELLO! IT’S YOUR MIDSTREAM WATER PROBLEM CALLING.

We’re still here. For a while, you forgot about all those billions of barrels of water that you have and the fact that you are running out of disposal solutions. You had cash flow problems to worry about with oil prices hitting bottom (and beyond).

But now . . . we, your Midstream Water Problem, is still here. And as you increase oil production, you STILL have the water disposal problem.

Now, speaking as your Midstream Water Problem, why don’t you NOT dispose of the water, but instead, put it to beneficial use through Encore Green Environmental’s method of surface application. It’s a proven method that’s economical, safe, regulated, and good for all concerned.

Find a better way to handle me, or your next phone call will be from the EPA and those looking to shut you down. Nice talking to you again. This time around, take action.

NOW THAT OIL PRICES ARE RECOVERING, ARE YOU GOING BACK TO YOUR UNSUSTAINABLE WAYS?

Remember not that long ago when oil was in negative numbers?

Sure you do.

So, this time around, do things differently. Before you drop millions into midstream infrastructure (again), talk to Encore Green Environmental. We’ve proven that we can take your produced/by-product water, treat it to regulatory standards using our fail-safe Conservation By-Design™ method, and “dispose” of it by surface applying it for ag and conversation.

Agriculture is your new midstream partner.

This time around, do it differently and we can help.
