Surge Energy America: A Leader in Freshwater Conservation
Surge Energy US Holdings Company has marked a significant achievement by surpassing the conservation of
seven billion gallons of freshwater through the use of recycled water in its completion operations since the year 2017. This initiative not only demonstrates the company's commitment to sustainable practices but also emphasizes its role as a pioneer in water conservation, especially in the
Permian Basin, a prominent oil-producing region in Texas.
From its inception in 2017, Surge Energy has been at the forefront of recycling produced water for
completion operations. This strategic approach not only conserves valuable freshwater resources but also helps the company lower its operating expenses significantly. Recently, officials announced that the cumulative savings from recycled water utilization have now crossed the
seven billion gallons threshold, further solidifying Surge's reputation as a responsible operator in the oil and gas industry.
Investment in Infrastructure
To facilitate this massive conservation effort, Surge Energy has made substantial investments in state-of-the-art water handling infrastructure. The company has established
four recycling facilities and has laid down around
217 miles of water pipelines across its operational territories. Additionally, it has invested in company-owned disposal wells, ensuring efficient water management and reduced environmental impact.
Leadership Statements
Kade McCollough, the Development Manager at Surge Energy, shared his pride in this milestone, stating, "We are proud to announce the surpassing of
seven billion gallons of fresh water conserved. Surge stands as a leader in water management, and this achievement reflects our long-standing commitment to responsible water handling in the Permian Basin."
Chris Alonzo, Senior Vice President of Development and Operations, emphasized the financial advantages of Surge's recycling initiative, highlighting that it plays a crucial role in keeping their lease operating expenses below
five dollars per barrel of oil equivalent for six consecutive years. This cost efficiency positions Surge's cost structure among the highest tier in the Permian Basin, further establishing the company’s competitive edge in a dynamic market.
