Looking to recomplete your SWD?  Trying to find the next safe disposal zone?  Don’t speculate –  know your Bottomhole Pressures before you drill!

By emagstage | Uncategorized | Comments are Closed | 7 July, 2022 | 0

EnergyMakers is now publishing its fifth year of Bottomhole Pressure studies across the most active oil and gas basins in the U.S.  Here’s our shallow basin-wide Bottomhole Pressure trends as of 2021. (Stay tuned here for deep-well BHP trends!) Only shallow wells in New Mexico are bucking the current pressurization trends, and that is becauseRead more

Stanton SRA- January 2022

This is the first of a series of observations from EnergyMakers’ New Mexico Deep SWD Report where we explore the practical capacity of New Mexico’s Deep SWD infrastructure and what operators and midstream players can expect going forward. We look back to peak performance of deep SWDs (> 8,000 ft true vertical depth) at the endRead more

Texas RRC Allows Underground Hydrocarbon Storage amidst Oversupply Concerns

By emagstage | Articles, News, News | Comments are Closed | 22 May, 2020 | 0

On May 5th, the Texas Railroad Commission (RRC) released a temporary exception for oil and gas storage wells: “16 Texas Administrative Code § 3.95: An exception authorizing underground hydrocarbon storage facility located in a geological formation other than an underground salt formation.”  This eases regulations for operators looking to permit a storage well, technically aRead more

Are we jumping the gun on seismicity causation in the Texas Delaware Basin?

By emagstage | News, News, Uncategorized | Comments are Closed | 3 April, 2020 | 1

EnergyMakers Advisory Group has long been cautioning stakeholders not to be too quick to indict disposal wells for Delaware, Texas area seismicity.  Other factors may also be at play in the region.    While SWD disposal has proven to be causal to induced seismicity in many areas including Arkansas, Colorado, parts of Texas, and broadly inRead more

Feds to Study Need for New Oilfield Wastewater Regulations

By emagstage | Articles | Comments are Closed | 12 October, 2018 | 1

The US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) this week announced a new study of current oil and gas wastewater management requirements to help determine if new regulations are necessary.   EPA’s current guidelines cover E&P effluent onshore at the wellhead and at centralized wastewater treatment facilities. But as one EPA official told The Oil & GasRead more

New Mexico Officials Consider Reuse Options for Oilfield Water

By emagstage | Articles | Comments are Closed | 25 September, 2018 | 2

The rebound in oil prices has spurred a dramatic upswing in drilling activity in many parts of the country—and New Mexico is no exception. According to the US Energy Information Administration (EIA), New Mexico’s side of the Permian basin is currently home to about 30,000 wells, with more wells being drilled every day. The practiceRead more
