Go ahead. Tell us.
We’ll nod and wait for you to finish before we tell you that not only have we heard the excuses, we’ve answered them. It wasn’t easy. When we first talked to the energy industry about using cleaned produced water to land-apply on the surrounding soil, we heard some great objections: economics, liability, regulatory.
Well, we’ve answered all of them:
Economics : We will take the produced water and “dispose” of it by cleaning and putting on the ground for the same or less cost than you’re paying for your total water disposal costs right now.
Liability: We’ll take the liability and sign all the liability release papers you pay the lawyers to draft.
Regulatory: We have the only permits in the US to land-apply this water.
So, what’s the excuse now?
