Surge Energy, Gravity partner to install produced water recycling facility in Howard County, Texas

(UC) — Surge Energy US Holdings Co. has entered into an agreement with Gravity Water Midstream LLC to install a produced water recycling facility in Howard County, Texas.

Surge initially began utilizing recycled produced water for completion operations in 2017. This practice both conserves fresh water and reduces operating expenses. This new facility built with Gravity will be the fourth recycling facility commissioned to support Surge's acreage position and will allow Surge to use recycled produced water in substantially all completions going forward while reducing the water volumes distributed to saltwater disposal wells in the area. 

"Surge has a long track record of using recycled produced water for fracking as demonstrated by the conservation of over 3.5 billion gallons of freshwater since we initiated the practice in 2017 and we are now expanding this practice with this facility to the acreage acquired in 2021," Linhua Guan, Surge's CEO, said. "We are excited to expand our partnership with Gravity on this project based on both companies' shared commitment to protecting the environment."

"Gravity is excited to enter into this partnership with Surge as we continue to expand our produced water recycling operations leveraging our dominant Howard County produced water gathering, disposal, and reuse supersystem," Trace Hight, Gravity's chief commercial officer, said. "This project with Surge will mark the fifth E&P operator in Howard County we have helped this year to reduce their freshwater sourcing needs by increasing delivery of our cost-effective and environmentally friendly produced water recycling solutions."
