HOUSTON, TEXAS (Editors at Energy Analytics Institute, 27.Mar.2025) — TETRA Technologies, Inc. announced a pilot project with EOG Resources, Inc.
The project will use TETRA Oasis Total Desalination Solution (TDS), an end-to-end water treatment and desalination solution for re-use and mineral extraction applications for produced water from oil and gas wells, TETRA announced on 27 Mar. 2025 in an official statement.
TETRA’s solution includes a proprietary treatment process integrated with the company’s exclusive membrane technologies to address the wide range of produced water quality from different hydrocarbon basins, the company said.
TETRA Oasis TDS has successfully demonstrated in the field the ability to deliver a water quality that achieves or exceeds relevant regulatory requirements in a cost-effective manner for multiple re-use applications, including surface irrigation and industrial uses.
Over the past 2 years, TETRA has worked closely with EOG. That work includes TETRA’s first field pilot program, where the company successfully treated produced water in South Texas.
“We achieved 92% recovery rate of desalinated water with total dissolved solids levels ranging from 40 parts per million (ppm) to 200 ppm, which are better than the average municipal drinking water standards. We are very pleased with our collaboration and the ability to bring such an important solution to the industry,” TETRA president and CEO Brady Murphy said in the statement.
As a result of the continued collaboration between the 2 companies, TETRA and EOG are commencing a pilot project where TETRA Oasis TDS will be used to process produced water from the Permian Basin.
The pilot project will start in the first-half 2025 and includes a rangeland grass growth study in a greenhouse using TETRA Oasis TDS processed water.
