“…The Rustler Formation contains two waterbearing units, the Culebra and the Magenta units, that are composed of dolomite with fractured and dissolution zones. The western edge of the Rustler Formation crops out in the study area along the eastern portion of Eddy County and dips toward the east (Lowry et al, 2018). In general, hydraulic conductivities are higher to the west and lower to the east, correlating to fresher water in the west and brackish water to the east.…”

“…In the Permian basin of the southwestern United States, 5 to 12 acre-ft of water is needed to complete each hydraulic fracture. 1 In many cases, areas with high levels of unconventional oil and gas production are in water-stressed regions. 2 This results in high costs for obtaining and transporting the water needed for hydraulic fracturing operations.…”

This research investigated a novel electrochemical process for producing a ferric iron coagulant for use in treating flowback and produced water from hydraulic fracturing and oil production operations. The electrolytic coagulant generation system uses an electrochemical cell to produce acid and base from oilfield brine solutions. The acid is used to dissolve scrap iron to provide a Fe 3+ coagulating agent, and the base is used to neutralize the treated water. The costs for generating the ferric iron coagulant were determined as a function of current density and feed water salinity. The process was shown to be effective for removing colloidal bentonite particles from brine solutions. The process has several advantages over conventional electrocoagulation using iron anodes, including: the ability to treat anoxic waters, elimination of electrode fouling, lower cost for the coagulant, and the ability to deliver Fe 3+ doses greater than 1 mM, since it is not limited by the amount of dissolved oxygen required to oxidize ferrous to ferric iron.
