Challenges Facing Produced Water Management
Varying Water Compositions
Lack of Infrastructure
Public/policy Demands (environmental &
perception Issues)
Water Transport/storage
Variation in Use of Product Water

Challenge
EFD Field Trials
Texas A&M Marcellus
Shale Brine Re-Use
Deliverables• Identify optimal treatment techniques for ultra-
high brine concentrations
• Provide information to community leaders
Status• Current field trials in New York• A&M Separation Sciences pilot testing new
technology• Creation of new Analytical Services Roundtable
