HOUSTON, TEXAS, Nov. 12, 2014 -- On Wednesday, Nov. 5, Select Energy Services (Select), a water solutions and oilfield service company, announced a strategic partnership with X-Chem/Terra (Terra), a premier oilfield wastewater treatment and recycling company.
The companies together launched three recent water treatment projects in the Permian Basin -- two for freshwater sterilization combined with flowback recycling once the fracked wells begin producing, and the other for the complete reuse of produced water for future slickwater fracs.
The companies are jointly pursuing several additional projects across the U.S. Terra will provide the equipment, manpower, expertise, and logistics for on-the-fly water treatment for frac use, and Select will provide the infrastructure and water focus to utilize Terra's capabilities.
