Information on the Quantity, Quality, and Management of Water Produced during Oil and Gas Production
The US GAO reports that a 2009 study by the Argonne National Lab found that the oil and gas industry produces at least 856 billion gallons of wastewater onshore every year. “This figure may underestimate the current total volume because it is based on limited, and in some cases, incomplete data generated by the states.” January 9, 2012.
Produced Water Volumes and Management in the United States
This 2009 report from Argonne National Laboratory found that produced water from onshore wells in the US is “probably more” than previous estimates of 588 to 756 billion gallons a year. September 2009.
