Select Energy Services, a provider of engineered water solutions to the oil and gas industry, will be the exclusive operator of Oasys Water’s Membrane Brine Concentrator technology in the Permian Basin, for a 24 month period. Under the strategic partnership, Select Energy Services will use Oasys Water’s Membrane Brine Concentrator to treat high saline produced waters from hydraulic fracturing activities.
Oasys Water’s Membrane Brine Concentrator uses the principles of forward osmosis, a natural process that draws fresh water across a semi-permeable barrier to produce potable quality water.
“We see the Oasys technology as an innovative alternative for treating high salinity produced water. We are excited about adding it to our suite of solutions to meet the various requirements for water recycle and reuse within the oil and gas industry,” said Select Energy Services CEO John Schmitz. “The capital cost of the Oasys system gives our customers an effective and sustainable option to offset the costs of deep well injection.”
“The results of our recent pilot show that our technology will transform water treatment,” said Bob Muscat, CEO of Oasys Water. “We are thrilled to be taking our solution to market and partnering with a company as successful as Select Energy Services, to bring our technology to the oil and gas industry. Commercial interest in our MBC has been tremendous and we look forward to introducing the technology to Select’s customers this year.”
