- Highlights of major produced water treatment technology testing and evaluation efforts,
- Presentation of results of Consortium supported research with the US EPA and industry on the toxicity and risk analysis of treated produced water,
- Provide tutorials of how to use the Consortium web site to: find general background information on produced water, access current data on produced water production by location, identify how to download and review produced water research data and associated reports, and
- Opportunities to participate in upcoming public outreach meetings and seminars.
SPE Workshop: Full Life Cycle Management of Produced Water | May 23 - 24 | Galveston, Texas
Produced water, typically viewed as a waste stream, accounts for the largest volume byproduct associated with oil and gas production. Management of produced water is particularly challenging as the quality and quantity of produced water varies with geography, time, and site-specific factors. An effective full life cycle management program of produced water that improves operational efficiency, optimizes cost, and maximizes it as a resource is critical for the success of upstream development.

New Mexico Desal Association Workshop | October 20 | Albuquerque, NM
“New Water for New Mexico” October 20th This workshop will focus on the opportunities surrounding the use of unconventional water resources. Exactly what resources are available for use, what treatment options exist, distribution of the resources, and economics will all be covered. Unconventional water resources include brackish ground and surface waters, and recycled industrial and manufacturing wastewater. The event will also provide information on “closed loop” systems.
The event, which includes lunch, will be held at the Sandia Resort & Casino at 30 Rainbow Road in Albuquerque. The cost to attend will be $55 per person and tickets must be purchased in advance. Tickets are not available on the day of the event.

I-West Workshop on Energy Water | June 14, 2022
A new group essentially addressing water and energy issues in the Inter Mountain West has scheduled a half-day workshop on energy transition and water needs in western states. Many of the discussions will be around produced water and non-traditional water use to support energy transitions, including hydrogen. The Consortium gave a presentations to this group on energy and water issues in the west in May, and especially New Mexico efforts on produced water and applications to energy applications like hydrogen. We will be presenting a condensed version of that presentation at the workshop.
Consortium members might be interested in discussions of efforts in these areas by other western states.
