EVX Midstream Partners builds the Eagle Ford Shale’s largest water gathering system

Houston pipeline operator EVX Midstream Partners has completed the first phase of construction for what is being touted as the largest gathering system for oilfield wastewater in the Eagle Ford Shale of South Texas.

In a Wednesday morning statement, EVX Midstream said it completed the first phase of construction for its oilfield wastewater gathering system in the South Texas shale play.

“EVX is positioned to be the largest gatherer of produced water in the Eagle Ford basin,” CEO Herb Chambers IV said in the statement. “We have recently completed over 300 miles of large diameter water gathering systems and have pipe connected many of our 20-plus saltwater disposal wells to provide our producer customers and trucking companies unprecedented operational flexibility.

Know in the industry as produced water, oilfield wastewater is produced in two main ways: through fracking, which uses millions of gallons of water for each well, or by drilling, which brings up brackish water left behind by the ancient inland sea that covered central North America.
