Subsurface water chemistry plays a crucial role in energy development and carbon management, including the production of petroleum resources, the extraction of minerals for battery-based energy storage, and the opportunities for geologic sequestration of carbon dioxide. The water’s chemistry is defined and dictated by temperature, pressure, and type and concentration of dissolved constituents, all of which can vary significantly with location and time. B3's Aqueous Geochemistry Data Module supports optimal decisions for how water can be used, re-used, disposed of, and best protected. Merging data from multiple sources, leveraging rigorous QA/QC protocols, and applying a consistent characterization of sample collection, preservation, and analysis gives users unparalleled access and insight into the composition of groundwater water across the United States.

On the evening of February 2nd, Oklahoma experienced a 5.1 magnitude (M) earthquake approximately 40 miles due east of Oklahoma City. This seismic event occurred within one-quarter mile of a 5.7 M earthquake in November of 2011. While Oklahoma has a recent history of increased frequency and magnitude of earthquakes associated with underground disposal of oilfield produced water, actions taken by the Oklahoma Corporation Commission to reduce disposal in areas of elevated seismic risk have led to a dramatic reduction in events back to near background levels. While Friday’s 5.1 M earthquake does not immediately seem to be part of a trend of increasing seismic activity, it is a reminder that continued vigilance and smart water management is a necessity for safe, secure, effective, and environmentally responsible underground fluid disposal.

In the wake of recent seismic events in the Permian Basin, this , we highlight the increasing importance of accurately assessing and managing formation pressure for the safe disposal of produced water underground. In response to these challenges, B3 Insight is proud to offer SIP (Subsurface Interval Pressure), a machine learning model designed to deliver algorithmically derived formation pressure data and maps.

Our innovative SIP model estimates two types of formation pressure—pseudostatic and dynamic (as pictured below)—enabling the calculation of subsurface pressure gradients across the entire basin. This helps geoscientists and engineers effectively visualize the downhole pressure impact of thousands of SWDs over time.

Did you know the Permian Basin has injected a staggering 35 billion barrels of produced water underground since the US shale revolution began? That’s equivalent to 1.5 trillion gallons, or the entire volume of the largest lake in Texas, the Toledo Bend Reservoir.

Discover how this massive water disposal is impacting today’s water and pressure management. In a recent article featured in JPT, Rob Bruant offers an in-depth analysis on produced water disposal and its implications on formation pressure and seismicity in the Permian Basin today.

The Growing Pressures of Produced Water Disposal B3 Insight examines the growing pressure of Permian Basin produced water disposal trends, seismicity concerns, and RRC regulations for oil and gas.

Roughly 60% of Permian Basin oilfield produced water disposed underground since 2010 has been injected into “shallow” zones in the Delaware and Midland Sub-Basins, zones that are situated above the primary unconventional oil- and gas-producing formations. Over that time, injection rates have changed considerably, particularly in the Delaware Sub-Basin, where the median yearly volume injected per well has increased more than ten-fold, from 0.2 million barrels in 2010 to 2.2 million barrels in 2023 (projected).
