212 Resources, LLC

With the development of unconventional oil and gas reservoirs that utilize hydraulic fracturing technologies, water management concerns have escalated. In certain geographic areas the total cost of handling water, from sourcing through disposal, is challenging the economic viability of future field development. 212 Resources offers proprietary technology providing an economic solution to the energy industry through our patented mechanical vapor recompression process. Our process produces two effluent streams: Consistent quality water and highly concentrated brine. What differentiates our process from our competitors is the ability to concentrate the brine to near saturation levels, which greatly reduces disposal volumes and maximizes the volume of clean water. In the Marcellus Shale, produced water and frac flowback waters contain very high concentrations of salts (TDS), often reaching 150,000+ ppm. Our design allows concentration of up to 300,000+ ppm TDS, thereby effectively reducing the waste stream by 50%. Our treatment systems (referred to as “POD’s”) are designed to be located in close proximity to actual drilling and completion activities. This significantly reduces costs associated with water sourcing, transportation, associated environmental risks and ancillary expenses often over looked, such as road maintenance. Other possible applications provide opportunities for the beneficial industrial use of concentrated brine, again reducing the total cost of water management to the industry. Through 212 Resources’ technology and experience, we provide a cost-effective water treatment process that meets all regulatory and environmental needs.
