| Produced Water Recycling | Produced water is a byproduct of drilling operations that needs to be addressed with filtration whether it’s going to be used as part of fracking, other drilling operations or disposed of. A key concern is making sure the water is treated so it doesn’t foul the oil formation. With the right filtration, rejected water can be used as frack water, flood water, construction water and other uses, and thereby reducing well production. 3M’s filtration products provide the particle reduction needed for efficient oil and gas applications.
