Oil Field Water Services
AquaTreat specializes in developing solutions for complex water challenges by integrating advanced equipment and providing treatment systems that are intuitive, robust, and customized to meet site-specific conditions and water quality objectives. Since 2020, AquaTreat has focused on pursuing a Water-as-a-Service model for oil and gas fields. The company offers a turnkey approach, from evaluating treatment options to designing, deploying, and managing systems, supported by a range of field service and remote support contracts.
Focusing on water treatment and the management of industrial recycling, produced water, and flowback from oilfields, AquaTreat assists operators in meeting reuse, discharge, or process water needs. Our team of research scientists and process engineers helps select, deploy, and manage water treatment solutions that comply with project-specific health and safety standards.
AquaTreat manages frac water (hydraulic fracturing water) and produced water (typical oilfield water produced with oil/gas) through a combination of sourcing, treatment, reuse, and disposal services tailored for oil and gas operations. Here’s how we typically handle it:
Sourcing and Supply
AquaTreat sources water from multiple origins, including:
- Freshwater (where permitted)
- Seawater desalination (where available)
- Brackish water from aquifers
- Recycled produced water
AquaTreat recognizes the importance of addressing operational challenges by providing comprehensive solutions that combine collection, storage, recycling, and reuse opportunities across a variety of field applications. Our proprietary treatments produce recycled water fully compatible with today’s engineered fracturing fluid technologies.
Why AquaTreat
AquaTreat’s modular, mobile, and scalable systems are designed for flexibility and rapid deployment. Our approach reduces reliance on large centralized facilities, minimizes surface footprint, and ensures efficient operations across multiple wellsites.
By lowering freshwater dependency and enabling the use of high-salinity water, AquaTreat delivers sustainable, cost-effective water management solutions tailored to the needs of modern oil and gas operations.
What We Provide
AquaTreat provides integrated water management solutions for hydraulic fracturing and oilfield production, covering the full lifecycle—from sourcing and treatment to reuse and responsible disposal. Our approach is designed to optimize operational efficiency while minimizing environmental impact.
We secure water from a range of sustainable and approved sources, including freshwater (where permitted), desalinated seawater, brackish aquifers, and recycled produced water. This diversified sourcing strategy ensures reliable supply tailored to project requirements.
During and after fracturing operations, significant volumes of water return to the surface as flowback and produced water. AquaTreat handles the collection, transport, and storage of this water through pipelines, tanks, and lined ponds—either at the wellsite or in centralized facilities—ensuring safe and efficient management.
A core focus of AquaTreat is treating water for reuse in future operations. Using advanced and flexible technologies, we remove suspended solids, control bacteria, and optimize water chemistry. Treatment methods include filtration systems, flotation units, membrane technologies, and chemical conditioning.
Our solutions are delivered through both mobile units at the wellsite and centralized facilities, maximizing reuse while reducing costs and environmental footprint.
We design and operate efficient water transfer systems, including temporary and permanent pipelines, pumping stations, and storage networks. Where pipelines are not feasible, trucking solutions are carefully optimized to minimize traffic and operational expenses.
AquaTreat offers a range of storage options such as lined surface ponds, steel tanks, modular systems, and mobile bladders. These solutions ensure operational flexibility and balance between supply and demand during project execution.
When reuse is not feasible, AquaTreat ensures safe and compliant disposal through approved methods such as saltwater disposal (SWD) wells, always adhering to environmental regulations and industry standards.
We provide completion fluids and chemical additives to ensure treated water is fully compatible with reservoir conditions. This prevents scaling, corrosion, and formation damage, supporting optimal well performance.
Our operations are supported by advanced digital systems that monitor water volumes, quality, and logistics in real time. This enables improved decision-making, higher reuse rates, and enhanced operational efficiency.
AquaTreat utilizes advanced on-the-fly blending systems that combine multiple water sources—such as produced, flowback, and brackish water—directly during pumping operations. Automated blending manifolds and real-time chemical injection ensure consistent water quality while reducing the need for storage and accelerating project timelines.
Rather than over-treating water, AquaTreat applies a fit-for-purpose philosophy—delivering only the level of treatment required for safe and effective reuse. Modular and mobile treatment systems can be deployed individually or in combination to meet specific operational needs.
Maximizing water reuse is a key pillar of our strategy. AquaTreat enables efficient recycling of flowback and produced water for reuse in new fracturing operations, significantly reducing freshwater demand, disposal volumes, and transportation costs.
For challenging conditions such as high salinity or elevated TDS levels, AquaTreat offers advanced treatment solutions including partial or full desalination. These systems enable compliance with strict environmental regulations and support high reuse targets, particularly in water-scarce regions.
