GE has been selected to build key components for ProWater’s Centerline SWD™ modular saltwater disposal (SWD) and deep injection well (DIW) systems, which separate oil, water and other byproducts produced in oil and gas operations.

ProWater, a wholly owned subsidiary of Sustainable Environmental Technology Corp. (SET Corp) (OTCQB: SETS), based in Southern California, develops technology for disposing saltwater produced from oil and gas wells. Demand for removing produced water is increasing, mirroring the oil and gas production boom in North Dakota’s Bakken Shale formation where the majority of the Centerline SWD™ systems will be used in deep injection wells.

“GE Oil & Gas has a proven reputation for manufacturing quality oil and gas production equipment that meets the usability and durability requirements of rigorous oil field environments,” said Keith Morlock, president of ProWater. “GE’s horizontal injection surface pumping systems (SPS), variable speed drives and logic control devices are well-suited for the construction of our advanced Centerline SWD™ saltwater disposal systems. We are working closely with GE to quickly ramp up production of our improved, modular SWD/DIW design, to improve efficiency and meet demands from Bakken Shale oil and gas producers.”

“Oil and gas production companies need to resolve the issues of how to dispose of the salt, oil and mineral-laden water resulting from oil and gas production,” added Morlock. “In North Dakota and other oil and gas regions, the only government-authorized solution is injection into SWD/DIW wells with similar water that lies far below drinking water sources. With GE modular solutions and other strategic partners, we are able to maintain full manufacturing and construction capacity year round, which provides us with a competitive advantage.”
