Hydraulic Fracing
Hydraulic fracing, commonly referred to as “fracing”, is the process of creating fissures, or fractures, in underground formations to allow natural gas to flow. During the process of fracing, a fluid (99% water and sand, along with a small amount of special-purpose additives) is injected in the well to facilitate the gas recovery. By doing so, the fluid injected then resurfaces up through the well and must be disposed of.
Bosque Systems offers mobile services to treat the flowback and produced water in order to reuse it for the process rather than disposing of it, therefore minimizing the need for fresh water in the gas operation/recovery process. Additionally, in the Marcellus, Piceance and Fayetteville Shales, disposal of flowback and produced water is costly and highly regulated. In most instances, Bosque’s customers realize an approximate 50% cost savings per barrel as compared to disposal and the associated trucking fees.
As the natural gas recovery process from shale formations continues for many years to come, Bosque Systems treatment solutions can reduce the consumption of millions of barrels of fresh water, reducing the environmental impact of the natural gas industry, and providing significant cost savings to the gas well operators from sourcing and trucking of fresh water to the well location.
