Current Water Management Practices, Challenges, and Innovations for US Unconventional Oil and Gas Development

TRRP Training: 2022 Program

presented by: GSI Environmetal Inc.

Texas Risk Reduction Program regulations (TRRP; 30 TAC 350) establish consistent risk-based protocols for assessment and response to soil, groundwater, or surface water impacts associated with environmental releases of regulated wastes or substances.

Presented by GSI Environmental Inc., this popular and informative training series is a must for professionals who need a working understanding of TRRP and those needing to stay up-to-date with the latest TCEQ TRRP guidance and policies.

TRRP Training Course (2 Days): Provides an overview of the TRRP framework and step-by-step training on property assessment and response action procedures established under the TRRP rule

Attendees will become acquainted with rules, key guidance and policies covering affected property assessments, protective concentration levels, and response actions. The course material presents strategies for efficient project management in compliance with TRRP and explains the various report forms adopted by TCEQ.

Abstract

Recent Findings
Operators continue to face a variety of water management challenges associated with unconventional oil and gas development, including demand for large quantities of fresh (or chemically compatible) water, storage of substantial volumes of produced water, characterization and treatment of water, and water conveyance over potentially long distances. In response, innovations in recycling, reuse, water quality treatment and testing, and infrastructure will change the future of unconventional development, allowing for hydraulic-fracturing techniques using little to no freshwater, reduced waste, and improved cost efficiencies.

Summary
Water is a vital commodity to the unconventional resource development industry, yet it presents unique technical, economic, and social challenges for water management strategies. As production from shale gas and tight oil plays continues to grow, the demand for reliable sources of water and the need for innovative management strategies for produced water will, in turn, continue to increase. Recent advances in the use of alternative water sources and produced-water characterization, recycling, and reuse will provide the foundation for future economical unconventional resource development in the US.
