On February 12, 2025, Select Water Solutions, Inc. and Occidental announced that their Lost Tank recycling facility in Lea County, New Mexico, has recycled over 50 million barrels of produced water. This milestone highlights significant progress in reducing freshwater usage and reliance on disposal in the Northern Delaware Basin.
The Lost Tank facility, which began operations in 2022 with an initial capacity of 60,000 barrels per day, has expanded to process 180,000 barrels per day, supported by 1.9 million barrels of storage. Select also constructed a 13-mile produced water pipeline to Occidental's Mesa Verde assets, enhancing network flexibility.
The facility utilizes advanced automation for dynamic water balancing, allowing efficient treatment, reuse, and redirection of water to multiple operators. The network is expected to expand further by 2025, with plans to increase pipeline connectivity and integrate the facility into a broader system with a total storage capacity of 12 million barrels.
