Frequently Asked Questions
What is saltwater disposal in oil and gas?
Saltwater disposal is the safe injection of produced water — the natural brine that comes to the surface with oil and gas — into deep, permitted disposal wells. The water is placed in porous rock formations thousands of feet underground, sealed off from freshwater aquifers.
How does a saltwater disposal (SWD) well work?
Produced water is delivered by truck or pipeline, filtered to remove solids and trace oil, then pumped down steel-cased injection tubing into a deep, isolated formation. Pressure and volume are continuously monitored to confirm the well operates safely and within its permit.
Where are your saltwater disposal wells located?
Norwood Energy provides saltwater disposal services in the Permian Basin of West Texas and the Eagle Ford Shale of South Texas, positioned near active drilling and production corridors to shorten haul times and reduce trucking costs.
Are saltwater disposal wells safe and regulated?
Yes. SWD wells in Texas are permitted and regulated by the Texas Railroad Commission. Wells undergo mechanical integrity testing, continuous pressure monitoring, and regular inspections to protect groundwater and the surrounding environment.
