Conundrum: A paradoxical, insoluble, or difficult problem; a dilemma
How do you determine the Cost vs. Benefit ...
When the Perception and Facts are in dispute?

Perception vs Fact
Let’s look at the Perception, or Conventional Wisdom of the main
three groups regarding PW:
Public Industry Regulators

Texas Production 400,000,000 BO per year 8 TCF Gas per year 450,000 existing wellbores Over 1,000,000 wells drilled since early
1900’s. 20,000 directional wells hydrofractured No “proven” groundwater

PW: The Issues & Arguments
Science – Legal - Policy
Hydrologic Cycle/Climate Change Infrastructure Seismic Risk Sinkholes and subsidence Cleanup/Toxicity Eminent Domain State vs. Federal vs. Local Authority RCRA and the Regulatory Framework Surface Estate vs. Mineral Ownership Over -regulation vs. Under- regulation Politics
![Page 19: Produced Water | Keynote lunch - John Tintera](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022070314/554d461ab4c90537678b51e7/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
Hydrologic CyclePerception: once fresh water is converted to frac fluid, flowed back as produced water, and disposed of, it is gone forever.
![Page 20: Produced Water | Keynote lunch - John Tintera](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022070314/554d461ab4c90537678b51e7/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
Climate Changeperception : produced water is a by-product of dirty energy
![Page 21: Produced Water | Keynote lunch - John Tintera](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022070314/554d461ab4c90537678b51e7/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
Infrastructure; Roads & Haulers (perception: PW is poorly managed)
![Page 22: Produced Water | Keynote lunch - John Tintera](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022070314/554d461ab4c90537678b51e7/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
Seismic

Sinkholes and Subsidenceperception: removing fluids like produced water from under the ground causes subsidence, pumping fluids back underground causes sinkholes
![Page 24: Produced Water | Keynote lunch - John Tintera](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022070314/554d461ab4c90537678b51e7/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
Cleanup: How Toxic is Produced Water & Who Pays?
![Page 25: Produced Water | Keynote lunch - John Tintera](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022070314/554d461ab4c90537678b51e7/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
Eminent Domain: politicians and regulators can’t ignore this...
![Page 26: Produced Water | Keynote lunch - John Tintera](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022070314/554d461ab4c90537678b51e7/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
Federal vs. State vs. Local Authority
“Can’t we all just get along?”
![Page 27: Produced Water | Keynote lunch - John Tintera](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022070314/554d461ab4c90537678b51e7/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
RCRA & and the Regulatory Framework
The Holy Grail
![Page 28: Produced Water | Keynote lunch - John Tintera](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022070314/554d461ab4c90537678b51e7/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
Surface Estate vs. Mineral OwnershipHard boiled issue #1, serious disconnect between groups. This is a global concern.
![Page 29: Produced Water | Keynote lunch - John Tintera](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022070314/554d461ab4c90537678b51e7/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)
Over -regulation vs. Under- regulation:Hard boiled issue #2, “to kill or not to kill, that is the question”
![Page 30: Produced Water | Keynote lunch - John Tintera](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022070314/554d461ab4c90537678b51e7/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)
Politics & Polarization:Hard boiled issue #3, A World-wide phenomenon that can not be solved solely by science.
![Page 31: Produced Water | Keynote lunch - John Tintera](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022070314/554d461ab4c90537678b51e7/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)
1 + 2 = 3 If you don’t solve #1 (surface vs. mineral, or
“who benefits?”), And you can’t solve #2 (the “over-under” of
good regulation), You get problem #3 (political problems that
require a political solution).
