Ultra3X Oil and Gas Industry Solutions
THE PROBLEMS
Water is a limited resource. The oil and gas industry requires huge amounts of water. Handling the contaminated water includes disposal wells, with contingent liabilities, links to “seismicity” and political issues, and public relations issues. The re-use of production water in dirty “slick fracks,” without effective processing to remove organics, bacteria, hydrocarbons, and reduce TDS, can cause EOR injectivity issues, reservoir contamination, and increased operational pressures, as well as, future governmental intervention. The overall negative impact on the environment and industry is unsustainable environmentally, legally, politically, and operationally.
THE SOLUTIONS
Ultra3X’s solution for the industry is our SERVICE using our “suite of technologies” to recycle flowback and production water for reuse in EOR, gel fracking, clean slick frack operations, or hybrid fracks. Ultra3X removes organics (including bacteria/hydrocarbons), vastly reduces TDS and TSS, including chlorides, boron, iron, and other metals and minerals to desired levels. The water may be used in EOR, gel fracs, or hybrid fracs. Reduce or eliminate well-side chemical treatment of raw fresh water, saving money in chemicals, personnel, and equipment. Eliminates the use of dangerous Chlorine Dioxide gas, saves time while encouraging safe, efficient, and low-cost operations.
Our solutions include:
- Removing and preserving hydrocarbons from produced water for profit and the environment
- Hydrocarbon recovery from production water
- Hydrocarbon recovery and refinery water management
- The KING of CLEAN BRINE – Creating a clean brine for true and on-site recycling of water in fracking operations
- Complete on-site water management
- Complete production water management
Key Points:
-
CHEMICAL FREE
We use no chemicals in any aspect of our water processing for recycling or remediation. We are environmentally friendly and clean in all of our practices.
-
REMOVES BACTERIA AND HYDROCARBONS
We reduce bacteria, hydrocarbons, and organics to “non-detectable” levels.
-
DRAMATIC TDS REDUCTION
Our technologies result in a vast reduction of Total Dissolved Solids (TDS), including chlorides, metals, and minerals. Testing with the Environmental and Energy Research Center (EERC)-University of North Dakota shows 280,000 ppm TDS reduced to 30,000 ppm and lower. For some producers, a TDS/Chloride level of 20,000 to 30,000 ppm inhibits bacteria growth and freezing and a weight of approx. 9.5 lb of water for use in fracking or well maintenance in wells with high TDS levels.
-
FULLY SCALABLE TO ANY REQUIRED VOLUME
Units can work at high volumes 8000 to 12,000 BPD. Processing lines are set up in parallel for as much fluid volume and throughput as needed by the customer.
-
ENVIRONMENTALLY MINDED
Recycling of water allows for re-use in fracking or well maintenance, which reduces salinity and fuels the conversation around smart green recycling practices.
-
MOBILE AND MODULAR
Our units are available on skids or wheels and can be used on site, well side, in a permanent water park or water plant, or other location. Our units, tanks, and equipment are modular in design and “plug and play.”
