Thoughts From Readers on Water Waste Management In The Oil Patch

Some time ago I mentioned to a friend that we should start seeing more waste management activity in the oil patch as the EPA and state agencies get more active, and the oil patch matures.

Coincidentally, the following comment was sent in earlier today:
Currently, I am wondering if anyone has any idea about what the EPA is going to require in terms of water cleanup in field operations, whether the well is fracked or not.

My associates and I are working a new oil/water separation technology that would speed up well flows, and separate out the oil, water, gas, minerals.

It's a new in-line, electronic process. Early tests show the water as potable, good for irrigation. We will add membranes if needed to get it even cleaner. But the concern here is are we all trying to hit a moving target? I would appreciate any feedback.

Thanks!
