ANTIDOTE TO WORRY: TURN ON THE LIGHT

Worry and fear sometimes flows alongside produced/by-product water. What’s in it? What will it do? Is it really safe? We get it. That’s why we work every day to offer you the antidote to this worry: information. If you walk into a dark house and worry what’s in the shadows? Find out; turn on the light. Worry that you might be running behind in your monthly budget? Find out; balance your checkbook 

Worried about what’s in the produced water? Find out; test it.

It’s that simple. Using the patent-pending Conservation By-Design™ method, we can discover the water makeup, clean it, and make sure the water makeup is publicly available on AgWaterSoilSolutions.com. We’ll turn the light on for you, so that you can know that the water is safe.

And if any batch of water is not safe, it’s processed again until it is.

We are giving you the antidote to worry: information.

Want to know more? Give us a call.

IS YOUR PRODUCED WATER ALL DRESSED UP WITH NO PLACE TO GO?

Everybody’s been talking about cleaning our produced water. This technology. That technology. But what do you do when you clean the gazillion gallons of water? Where’s it going to go? 

That’s why Conservation By-Design is the win-win solution. We bring all the stakeholders together, clean the water, some’s used to re-frack, then  we put it – now all cleaned up -- on the ground for ag and conservation!

Got some water in need of a makeover? 

Let’s help you clean it up and then give it some place to go!

WE JUST NEEDED SOMEONE TO YELL “GERONIMO” AND JUMP. SO WE DID.

For some, putting produced/by-product water on the ground was never considered possible.

For others, the thought was there, but the action wasn’t. Sometimes what an industry needs is just someone determined enough to leap out of the moving plane.  So, we set out 2 years ago to transform the arid west with a new source of water.

We are grateful to the landowners, regulators, environmentalists, and energy companies who are embracing the future.

Because once somebody jumps safely, we all can jump safely!

Encore Green Environmental Receives First-Ever Permit for Re-Purposing Produced Water for Ag and Conservation

Landmark Action Opens Up Land Stewardship Opportunities

Darlene Nash, owner and CEO of Encore Green Environmental (EGE) announced today that the company has received a permit to land-apply industrial by-product/produced water for agricultural and conservation use.

Newly appointed President of EGE Wyoming says, “We are grateful to the Department of Environmental Quality for their hard work with us to determine a safe and viable pathway to put this water to good use instead of throwing it away. Wyoming is taking leadership in environmentally friendly initiatives that work well for industry.”

The initial project is on private land just outside of Pine Bluffs, Wyoming. EGE’s patent-pending Conservation By-Design™ will start immediately with soil and ag evaluation to determine the water cleaning process.

“This is a game-changer,” says Marvin Nash, co-founder of EGE and now Special Advisor “because this water can now be put to use to steward our very arid lands.”

In addition to the appointment of John Robitaille and defined role for Marvin Nash, the company announced the promotion of Seth Frentheway to President of EGE Environmental Technologies Worldwide, concentrating on all things digital, including blockchain integration, data mining, and other opportunities. Seth will be opening the Cheyenne office for EGE, located in the Wyoming Stock Growers Association building.  

Jeff Holder continues as General Manager overseeing business aspects and communication. The restructure fulfills the original goal which was for Marvin Nash to establish the business opportunities and then allow another executive to run things day to day. 

“This new structure takes advantage of the talents of our staff. John has a wealth of experience not only in energy, but also in agriculture. He’s the ideal person to oversee our Wyoming operation. Seth has opened up the digital opportunities of which there are many. He brings his experience and skill set to take advantage of how technology increasingly touches all aspects of the business,” says Darlene Nash.

 Encore Green Environmental is the world’s first agricultural midstream company with a digital mindset to create total ecological solutions for the oil industry, the agriculturists, and conservationists. Using their patent-pending method of Conservation By-Design™, industrial produced/by-product water is cleaned to match the surrounding soil’s needs and applied to the land inside regulator parameters to meet agricultural and conservation goals.

We're In The News Again!

Encore Green Environmental and Wilson Farms brings produced water for ag use

MIDLAND, Texas, Jan. 06, 2020 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Economically treating oilfield produced water for agricultural use may become a reality in the prolific Permian Basin through a new partnership’s vision.

Currently, more than 90 percent of produced water is injected into disposal wells, with the rest minimally treated and used in hydraulic fracturing. Removing enough impurities for agricultural use is generally deemed possible, but prohibitively expensive.

Cheyenne, WY based Encore Green Environmental has entered into a Memorandum of Understanding  with Wilson Farms in Midkiff, TX to host a cutting edge process utilizing produced water in concentrated solar power (CSP) to generate the electricity whose sale into the grid would fund the operation. Spent steam from the CSP would be condensed back into liquid, creating water clean enough for conservation and agriculture. Ongoing solar tax credits would boost profitability.

Encore Green Environmental CEO Marvin Nash, with years of oilfield and agriculture experience, founded Encore Green Environmental in 2017 to recycle produced water for agricultural use. His company uses a patent-pending process, Conservation By-Design™, to test the recipient soil, clean produced water of oil, iron, TSS and more. Its process batches the water and uses blockchain to identify and continually track the water as it’s applied to the land.

Wilson Farms CEO Cody Wilson is a fourth-generation Midkiff, Texas-area farmer with four sections of land earmarked for placing the CSP and applying finished product water to the soil in this project. He and Nash are partnered to put produced water to good use and create economic opportunity.

With degrees from Texas A&M and Texas Tech, Wilson spent several years in banking before returning to his family’s agricultural roots. His recycling interest began with using cotton gin waste as mulch.

Benefits to this type system include: reducing manmade tremors associated with typical water injection; sequestering carbon through agriculture; capturing solar energy for electricity generation; reducing agricultural water table drawdown from irrigation; increasing the Permian’s vegetative and wildlife growth.

They are seeking partners in technology and investment to design and build the CSP and to connect it to the grid.

It’s Your Water, Dang It

You probably figure it’s your water and everything will be as it’s always been. All’s good, right?

Actually, no. 

In all of the arid Western states, water management is up for grabs and in some states water ownership is a question mark. The water we’re talking about is produced/by-product water that comes from industry, mostly the oil industry. For decades, that water was thrown away down an injection well, never to be heard from again.

But now, that water can be cleaned to match surrounding soil and applied to the ground for ag and conservation. In some states, the oil industry is happy to keep tossing your water down into a hole. We think you’d rather that water be used for ag and conservation, if not for no other reason than your aquifer isn’t being drained for those uses.

In other states, strategic oil and midstream companies are playing a game of chess where they can end up with ownership of that water and then they can sell it back to municipalities or agriculturalists.

We think maybe you’d like your water to be used for a beneficial purpose – instead of wasting it or using it to increase the bottom line of industry.

What do you think? 

Investing in Our Young People!

Darlene Nash, owner of Encore Green Environmental presents a donation to Olivia Sanchez of the Wyoming Stock Growers Association for the 2020 Range Internship Program, focused on Invasive Species.

These 2020 internships are being funded through a generous contribution by Encore Green Environmental under the Wyoming DEQ SEP Grant Program. Two college interns will each be selected to serve a three month paid internship on a Wyoming ranch that is actively engaged in an invasive plant eradication and control program. Application details will be available in January.

Putting By-Product Water On Our Thirsty Land - Benefit #10: Aquifers Not Drained for Energy or Agriculture.

You might not often think about the aquifer near your home, but you’d sure miss it if it dried up. 

The aquifer provides water for not only your tap, but also for agriculture, conservation, and industry such as fracking. 

If we clean industrial produced/by-product water and apply it to the land – then THAT becomes the source of water for ag, conservation, and even industry. AND, that means that the source of your drinking water isn’t being exhausted for those other things. 

Our Conservation By-Design™ process transforms produced water to be put to many good uses so the aquifer isn't being drained. Let’s talk about it HERE.

TOP 10 BENEFITS OF RE-PURPOSING PRODUCED WATER

Putting By-Product Water On Our Thirsty Land - Benefit #9: Water Info is Blockchain Traceable with Fail-Safe Method.

Those in the ag business know all about traceability. 

Vegetable crops are tracks so as they go from farm to table, any problems along the way can be discovered and the source identified. Same idea of batching medications – if there’s a problem, it can be tracked down.

That’s what Conservation By-Design™ does, but with water. We are used to produced/by-product water being continually injected into a hole with no thought of traceability. But all that has changed. We batch the water for traceability, just like soybeans or Tylenol. 

Then, the water, after being tested and cleaned. is then tested again with a fail-safe method that ensures only the water that passes the tests goes to the ground. 

If there’s a problem caught in the fail-safe stage, the traceability kicks in and we are able to identify and correct any problems.

And, all this information is managed with blockchain and is publicly available. We love to talk about it. Drop us a note HERE.

Putting By-Product Water On Our Thirsty Land - Benefit #8: Closes the Knowledge Gap

THE knowledge gap often spoken of in terms of produced/by-product water is twofold.

First, we don’t know the water’s makeup when it comes out of the fracking well and put into an injected well. Second, we don’t know what happens to that water when it goes down the hole.

Our Conservation By-Design method closes both gaps.

FIRST GAP CLOSED

The produced/by-produce water is tested to understand what must change for it to match the needs of surrounding soil. Then, after cleaning, we conduct a fail-safe test on the water to make sure it matches the soil’s needs before applying to the grounnd. That information is publicly available on our website HERE.

SECOND GAP CLOSED

The water and the soil are both continually monitored to make sure that the cleaned water is doing what it’s supposed to do – create healthy soil. Moisture probes measure the volume of water continually and in real time. The soil is tested on a strict schedule to make sure that it’s staying healthy. So, with Conservation By-Design, there is no gap in knowledge about what the water is doing in the soil.

We’re happy to close your knowledge gap about how Conservation By-Design works. Give us a call!
