Bosque Systems' Growth Strategy Has Paid Off With Big Contracts in Texas, Oklahoma, and North Dakota. Expanding further in 2014 - Press Release

Bosque-Systems Fluids Management

Fort Worth-based Bosque Systems announces that it is the largest independent water management dedicated contractor to oil and gas operators in the U.S. It has treated and managed close to 200 million barrels of produced and flowback water for oil and gas operators in 2013. The company is engaged in sourcing, gathering, storing, treating and delivery of frac ready water to numerous operators.

A few years ago, Bosque’s business was based solely within the saltwater disposal arena where we own and operate facilities in Texas, Oklahoma, and North Dakota,” said Clane LaCrosse, president and CEO of Bosque Systems. “Today our treatment, recycling and reuse programs account for more than half of our revenues and we forecast that this trend will increase in the future.

Providing Dynamic Solutions to Water Challenges in the Oilfield

Bosque Systems works as a partner with oil and gas operators and handles millions of barrels at all phases of the fluid management life cycle. The solutions offered may include sourcing, gathering systems, pipelines, water storage solutions, and various water treatments depending on the water quality, drilling pattern and goals of the operators.

Bosque Systems has developed a very strong business, solution, and service model centered around environmentally friendly fluid management solutions,” Clane LaCrosse said. “By partnering with operators, we allow them to concentrate on production and maximize their resources rather than focusing on water management.
— Clane LaCrosse

Bosque Systems' relationship with major operators has grown from disposal to full water life cycle management.

"The introduction of our DIONIXTM water treatment system was a turning point for Bosque Systems," said Peter Pappas, vice president of business development for Bosque Systems. "From that point, we generated a lot of interest from operators to recycle flowback or produced water. Our technology is easy to deploy, cost effective and kills 100% of all bacteria in the water," Peter continued.

From this initial success, the company introduced other technologies to provide a single point of contact to operators in need of treatment and recycling.

Continued Growth and Innovation in Water Management

The growth of Bosque Systems has been made possible due to extensive hiring of both management and operation personnel. The company continues hiring specialist operators and technicians in markets including the Eagle Ford Shale, the Cline Shale, Permian Basin, Mid-Con region and the Bakken.  Rapidly approaching 500 employees, the company is well positioned to solidify its relationships and develop new ones within the active markets and others.

In the Wolfcamp play, considered as possibly the largest oil and gas discovery in the world and, also, a very drought prone area, the company is leading the charge to allow operators to reuse 100% of their flowback and produced water, thus minimizing fresh water withdrawal and drastically reducing truck traffic in the region by using pipeline across fields. The company leases land and sets up BATTM tanks, containing up to 40,000 bbls of recycled water, and other equipment to capture, treat, and make this water available for the operator. In this region, Bosque Systems allows for blending up to 30% recycled and treated water within producers' operations.

We’re using 100 percent of the produced water we have. If we were producing more water, we’d use it.
— Regional Customer

The produced water is mixed with fresh water at the well site. To date, the same operator has used about 2,000,000 barrels (about 84 million gallons) of recycled water, which, without this initiative, would have been all freshwater. Blended water has helped complete over 35 wells in the Eldorado portion of the Wolfcamp since April.

Operators are excited about the game changing solutions that Bosque Systems provide in the various regions. As more scrutiny from environmental organizations and more regulations are put in place, Bosque Systems believes that the company is well positioned to support recycling initiatives on a large scale in all major plays in North America in 2014 and many more years to come.

New Water Management Solutions Decrease Oil & Gas Impact - Press Release

Bosque Systems

Water is an essential component for oil and natural gas production during both the drilling and hydraulic fracturing processes.  Most of the water used comes from surface water sources such as area lakes, ponds, rivers and municipal supplies. Historically, the water used in drilling and hydraulic fracturing has been a one-time use.  With recent droughts, oil and natural gas operators have been seeking alternative sources of water to be used in aiding their production to minimize their ecological impacts.

Typical Oil & Gas Well Water Usage

Having mobile water treatment units allows us to integrate with the frac crew and move seamlessly from job to job”, explains Peter Pappas. “We have treated millions of barrels of both fresh and produced water. Our cost-effective solution has better efficacy than traditional biocides, and is an environmentally friendly solution.

In order to frac a well, operators use 500,000 to 1,000,000 gallons of water for each stage, and a well may need up to 20 stages. With local regulations being reinforced and public concerns, water is now thought as the most critical resource operators utilize when producing oil and gas in all regions. Until recently, produced water, which includes water produced during the initial flowback process, was an undesirable and costly byproduct of oil and gas production. It is also one of the "continually produced" substances during the oil and gas production that poses environmental risks. With Bosque System's technology, operators can now re-use the produced and flowback water for hydraulic fracturing operation, thus reducing the amount of fresh water and in some cases, water trucked to the producing zone.

Water recycling is an important topic because of the increase in oil and gas production in North America coupled with fresh water shortages. Bosque Systems has contracts with major operators across oil and gas plays to treat their water for re-use in the hydraulic fracturing process.

Multiple Solutions Needed To Tackle Water Treatment

Bosque Systems has patents or patents pending on several technologies. One technology employed by Bosque Systems, according to Robert Mitchell, is a mobile water recycling unit, which precipitates solids in the water and extracts them. He said Bosque has mobile units dedicated to different regions of the country, including the Permian Basin, the Mid-Continent, the Eagle Ford Shale in South Texas, and the Bakken Shale in North Dakota.

“Being a service provider, we believe safety and results are the two most important components for our customers. As such, we continually test and monitor the quality of the water we treat in order to report and validate our results to operators”, Peter Pappas added. “We are a full solution provider.”

Recognizing the needs early on for water management within the new types of oil and gas production methods, Bosque Systems is well ahead of its competition.
— Clane LaCrosse, CEO and president of Bosque Systems.

Headquartered in Fort Worth, TX, Bosque Systems, LLC has seen this challenge for many years and developed technologies to reduce the impact of operators on water resources. The company is involved in working with operators to provide customized water management solutions.

Bosque Systems is a solutions-based company that specializes in designing complex turnkey solutions to solve operators' water management needs from inception to completion, with expert project management teams able to design, engineer, and provide support for oil and gas operators’ water challenges. Our solutions include water treatment, saltwater disposal, gathering systems and specialized custom solutions designed to meet specific customer requirements. “Bosque enjoys multiple advantages as compared to competitors. We do not push one technology in particular but rather design solutions around each customer’s location, water quality and economic needs”, said Peter Pappas, vice president of growth and business development.

“Water from fracturing operations is exposed to millions of naturally occurring microbial contaminants which can cause souring; corrosion; plugging in pipelines and injection wells, pumps, and filters; and emulsion problems”, said Robert Mitchell, director of technology for Bosque Systems. “Partnering with oil and gas operators, Bosque has identified a need for an environmentally safe, effective and cost-efficient solution for treating water being used for hydraulic fracturing”, he continued.

GreenHunter Energy Plans Commercial Water Facility in Wilson County

GreenHunter Energy has leased acreage and plans to build a commercial water facility in Wilson County, TX. The facility will house at least one disposal well, a frack tank yard, and a treatment plant for produced water, frack water, and drilling muds. Now, if we can just get some rain, so there is water to treat......

GreenHunter Water, has executed a long-term agreement to lease approximately five acres of surface and mineral rights in the Eagle Ford Shale region of South Texas where it will develop a new commercial service facility.

This lease and development project will establish GreenHunter Water's presence in and around Wilson County, Texas. The highly active Eagle Ford Shale drilling in South Texas extends predominantly throughout fourteen counties to the north-east and south-west of the facility's location. The planned use for this location includes one or more salt water disposal wells, a treatment plant for oilfield produced water, frac water and drilling mud and a frac tank lay-down yard. The leased property is strategically located in a high drilling activity region with approximately 90 exploration and production drilling rigs currently active in the immediate area.

This location is the first of multiple planned locations for GreenHunter Water in the Eagle Ford Shale and is a direct response to a request from a number of operators active in the region to provide a "Total Water Management Solution."
