Original Post
I have not followed the salt water disposal industry in the Bakken. It's my impression that this is pretty much a mom-and-pop operation/small companies that are not publicly traded.I assume most SWD wells are old oil wells that are converted to SWD wells and once converted, are sold to these small companies or mom-and-pop operations.
A reader is curious if I am missing something. Are there any publicly traded companies involved in salt water disposal in the Bakken?
By the way, on a side note, my hunch is that waste disposal is going to be a huge industry going forward. There is a huge waste disposal dump being developed south of Williston (the site is in McKenzie County). Topsoil has been moved; tanks moved in, etc, but I do not know who is building it.
Anyway, I digress.
Let me know if there are publicly traded companies involved in salt water disposal. A reader (not me) is curious.
