Webinar: Produced Water Management Challenges, Treatment, Reuse, and Resource Recovery
Produced water management is evolving beyond disposal alone. Growing interest in treatment, reuse, and resource recovery is changing how regulators and operators evaluate water quality, permitting requirements, environmental risks, and long-term management strategies.
Join us for this webinar as we examine the policies, permitting frameworks, treatment technologies, and emerging opportunities shaping produced water management across major energy-producing states.
What You’ll Learn:
- The growing role of produced water in energy development, water management, and resource recovery.
- Variations in produced water regulations and permitting requirements across producing regions.
- State approaches to produced water reuse, recycling, treatment, and resource recovery.
- Risk-based decision-making in permitting and the safe use of treated produced water.
- Treatment technologies, water quality considerations, disposal constraints, and beneficial reuse opportunities.
- Current produced water research and emerging studies.
