  10. EFD Field Trials

  11. Texas A&M Marcellus Shale Brine Re-Use New York Chenango Co. 2012 Courtesy Williams Bros. Company • Deliverables • Identify optimal treatment techniques for ultra-high brine concentrations • Provide information to community leaders • Status • Current field trials in New York • A&M Separation Sciences pilot testing new technology • Creation of new Analytical Services Roundtable New York Field Trial of Ultra-High Salinity Brine Pre-treatment: Texas A&M Environmentally Friendly Drilling Technology for the Marcellus Shale –SPE 158396

  12. A&M Lab in the Eagle Ford

  13. Why Do We Field Trial Brine Treatment before Re-Use? Treated and Untreated Frac Pond Brine Field Frac Brine after Three Weeks Treated Un-Treated Eagle Ford Field Frac Brine
