OVERVIEW:

| Below are some examples of shale plays that can benefit from Brisben Water mobile water recycling solutions: |
America’s oil and natural gas industry is projected to be worth $85 billion by 2013; and the need for clean reusable water will increase accordingly. Ozonix®, the chemical-free water treatment solution developed, patented, and manufactured by Brisben Water Technologies, addresses this need with an advanced water treatment system that provides long term resource sustainability to end users. Designed to treat both flowback water and produced water, Ozonix® provides operators with a total water management solution for on-site microbial control and scale-inhibition.
UNCONVENTIONAL SHALE PLAYS:
Natural gas recovered from Unconventional Shale Plays is now considered to be the next step forward in the fossil-fuel recovery challenge. The large volume and long-term potential of these shale plays are driving greater exploration of this previously ignored resource. In a conventional gas field, wells are drilled down to the gas deposits, which can be as deep as two miles beneath the surface. With unconventional shale plays, the gas trapped in tight shale formations is released through horizontal hydraulic fracturing that cracks the shale and releases the flow of gas.
HYDRAULIC FRACTURING:
Hydraulic fracturing requires millions of gallons of water to be mixed with very fine sand forced down the well at high pressure—during the first few weeks of operations, millions of gallons of contaminated flowback water return to the surface. Prior to the introduction of the Brisben Water Ozonix® technology, this flowback water had to be loaded into tanker trucks and hauled away to deep-injection sites or holding ponds. The Brisben Water Ozonix® technology has eliminated the need for wastewater trucking and allows operators to re-use 100% of their water.
Brisben Water’S SOLUTION:
Ozonix® technology has been used to recycle over 19,000,000 barrels of fluid on hundreds of wells in the natural gas industry. Using environmentally friendly ozone as a disinfectant, Ozonix® eliminates the need for costly, liquid chemical biocides used to manage microbial growth. The Ozonix® technology is cost-efficient and enables energy companies to preserve vital water resources and ensure on-going sustainability.
FEATURES & BENEFITS:
- Ozonix® units are self-contained and transportable for use on-site or at remote locations; no external power source is required and set up time is minimal
- A single Ozonix® system can process up to 3,300 gallons of water per minute on-site during hydraulic fracturing operations for 100% water reuse
- Ozonix® completely oxidizes all bacteria, soluble organics and hydrocarbons; eliminating the need for chemical biocides used to control microbial growth down-hole
- Cost Efficient – Utilizing Brisben Water’s EcosFrac™ services, Ozonix® reduces the need for liquid chemical scale inhibitors typically used to manage scale deposition in the reservoir and tubular casing
- Ozonix® substantially lowers the level of friction reducers needed to control surface treating pressures and reduce fluid turbulence during fracturing
- Ozonix® processed water is conditioned for 100% re-use on future wells
- No secondary chemical waste stream is produced
- Ozonix® recycles and reclaims water to preserve precious water resources for present and future generations
- Proven successful by independent laboratory tests and the hundreds of millions of gallons of reusable water already recycled for major energy exploration and production companies in the energy industry
