Evaluated top commercial SWDs in region compared to target SWDs to assess performance of commercial wells
Researched produced water volumes by operator, by field, and by formation to understand high water cut areas that may influence future produced water areas
Assessed salt water disposal well locations, drilled uncompleted wells (DUCs), and injection volumes per month
Forecasted Eagle Ford production in 30 to 50-mile radius of disposal facilities based on drilling and completion programs from public operators, DUCs, and permit to production cycle times
Compared commercial and operator-owned disposal wells injection volumes to identify operators that have excess disposal capacity
The Outcome & Benefit
Delivered comprehensive report that outlined commercial and operator owned SWDs market landscape in the Eagle Ford highlighting key issues to consider for SWD acquisition in Eagle Ford
