What is

slurry fracture

injection?

Slurry Fracture Injection is the process of combining solid waste including, TENORM, NORM, and other E&P waste streams with produced water to make a slurry that is then injected into a suitable geological formation through hydraulic fracturing process.

Slurry Fracture Advantages

  • Future Liability Mitigated
  • Reduces Waste Management Costs
  • TENORM Disposed Deep within the Earth's Strata

The

Process

  • Reduce solid material to an acceptable particle size.
  • Combine solids with other liquid wastes or make up fluid, to form an injectable slurry.
  • The slurry is then pumped into a preselected formation at a rate and pressure that exceeds fracture initiation pressure of that geologic interval.

Advantages of

Slurry Fracture Injection

  • SFI is an emerging disruptive technology that prevents long term liability of storing waste in landfill cells at the surface.
  • Slurry Fracture Technology has been utilized successfully to store the most challenging wastes since 1980.
  • Slurry Fracture Injection has the ability to safely dispose of waste for the long term when executed properly.
  • SFI disposes of Waste at approximately 7,500 feet within the Earth's strata.
