Beneficial Reuse

Focusing on the future use of produced water for beneficial reuse, Aris Water Solutions is actively evaluating opportunities for beneficial uses of produced water including:

  • Irrigation for Non-Food Agriculture
  • Restoration of rangeland grasses for carbon sequestration and carbon credits
  • Mineral recovery including caustic, HCL, bromine, lithium and other rare earth metals

Current indicative projects underway that we are leading or providing primary support:

  • 2021 Department of Energy Project, ~$4,000,000 funding of an optimization framework for produced water management and beneficial reuse
  • 2021 Texas A&M University Pilot underway using Aris Water Solutions treated produced water to evaluate irrigation to grow cotton, building off the 2016 Texas A&M University feasibility study using blended produced water to grow cotton
  • Aris has a beneficial reuse strategic agreement (the “Joint-Industry Project” or JIP) with Chevron U.S.A. Inc., ConocoPhillips, Exxon Mobil Corporation and Coterra Energy Inc., to develop and pilot technologies and processes to treat produced water for potential beneficial reuse opportunities.
