Exclusive Forum for Shale Water Management across North America

Welcome to the Shale Water Management USA 2024 Exhibition and Conference, where shale operators, supply, and service companies will meet with leading water management experts and key regulators in Houston, Texas, to explore new cost-effective water treatment, sourcing, disposal, and storage solutions exclusively for the region.

New initiatives toward more efficient and cost-effective water management solutions are being explored as operators seek optimal performance and low-cost water management strategies in line with the latest regulations and environmental considerations, ensuring long-term operational security in a volatile oil price market.

With the challenges of keeping OPEX down to a minimum, operators face difficult choices for managing produced water, either adopting a low-cost disposal strategy or engaging in a “treatment for reuse” plan. While the operating costs can vary depending on the proximity of the producing wells to local water-disposal facilities, generally, 60 to 70 percent of the total cost is attributed to water-hauling and transportation. Where possible, operators are finding new and innovative options to recycle, and reuse produced water for cost-effective and stable solutions.

The Shale Water Management USA 2024 conference is the region’s leading exhibition and conference exclusively for shale operators and an extensive array of supply and service providers to explore new opportunities in water management, water recycling, and water reuse to improve operational efficiencies and maintain profitability for both pre-existing wells and new operations.

Key topics on this year’s agenda include:

• Making an economic assessment for shale water management strategies
• Looking for low-cost and low-risk solutions in water treatment, recycling, and reuse
• Evaluating the options and making choices in treatment-for-reuse and water-disposal
• New technologies and technical know-how in shale water management operations
• Upcoming regulations and industry standards for produced water management
• Operations case studies and developing a successful water management program

This exhibition and conference will provide a forum for all stakeholders, from shale operators and upstream service providers to leading wastewater management experts and water disposal facilities, to network and build cross-market relationships and discuss the latest water management initiatives for the region.
