Aureus operates a growing portfolio of long-life midstream water assets across the Permian Basin. From sourcing and land control to infrastructure and disposal, our platform is designed to deliver reliability, scalability, and operational certainty for multi-year development programs.
Midstream Capabilities Across the Water Lifecycle
Core Services
Our water sourcing platform is built on extensive land ownership and water rights, providing access to reliable fresh water supply. These resources allow us to deliver sustainable sourcing solutions for drilling and completion operations while minimizing reliance on third-party supply chains and reducing logistical complexity for operators.
In addition to fresh water resources, our infrastructure is designed to capture, treat, and reuse produced water in hydraulic fracturing operations. By integrating sourcing, treatment, and distribution capabilities, we help our customers reduce freshwater consumption while supporting a more efficient and sustainable water lifecycle across the Permian Basin.
Our company is currently developing an extensive water gathering and transportation system across the Permian Basin, designed to support long-term water management for our customers. The backbone of this system includes dual 20-inch pipeline corridors that connect our core assets and create a scalable network for both water sourcing and produced water takeaway.
This infrastructure platform enables operators to move large volumes of water safely and efficiently while reducing reliance on trucking and minimizing surface disruption. By integrating pipelines, storage, treatment, and disposal assets into a unified system, we provide our customers with reliable midstream water solutions designed to support multi-year development programs and evolving operational needs.
Our company owns and operates 17,500 acres of strategically positioned surface rights in the heart of the Permian Basin, creating a high-value platform for scalable, long-term water infrastructure development. This expansive footprint allows us to control key pipeline corridors, optimize facility placement, and reduce surface impacts while enhancing system reliability. With contiguous acreage across core development zones, we provide operators with accessible infrastructure, streamlined permitting, and flexible expansion capacity aligned with multi-year drilling programs.
Our land position overlays some of the most productive hydrologic zones in the region, supporting substantial freshwater recharge and produced-water refresh rates measured in the millions of barrels per day. This rare combination of acreage control and natural water availability enables us to develop high-capacity recycling, treatment, and disposal assets that keep pace with the basin’s evolving production landscape. Backed by abundant resources and strategically located surface, our platform delivers a resilient, cost-efficient, and scalable water midstream solution designed for long-term partnership with Permian operators.
Our company is actively acquiring, developing, and permitting a significant portfolio of saltwater disposal capacity across the Permian Basin to support the region’s rapidly growing produced water volumes. Our strategy focuses on securing high-quality geologic formations, favorable reservoir characteristics, and strategic locations near key development areas to ensure reliable long-term disposal capacity for our customers.
By building a diversified network of permitted disposal wells and supporting infrastructure, we provide operators with a dependable outlet for produced water while reducing trucking distances and improving operational efficiency. Our approach emphasizes responsible reservoir management, regulatory compliance, and long-term capacity planning, allowing us to deliver scalable disposal solutions that evolve alongside the basin’s development.
