Industry: Brine Extraction, Natural Gas Wells
Project Scope: Provided high-frequency and quarterly analytical testing of brines and drilling wastewaters to support both compliance and R&D efforts.
Overview
Conti Testing Laboratories partnered with a natural gas operator to conduct comprehensive testing of brine and wastewater samples produced during drilling activities. The goal was to characterize the elemental makeup and assess potential for resource recovery.
Client Need / Challenge
The client sought to determine whether the extracted brine could be commercially developed into new chemical or mineral products. They also needed to ensure regulatory compliance in waste handling and disposal.
Services Provided
- Elemental Analysis
- Rare Earth Element (REE) Analysis
- Freeze Point Determination
