Because of the risk this poses to groundwater, producers are required to manage and dispose of it properly. Salt water is typically reinjected into the ground, or more precisely, into salt water disposal wells. These are disposal sites for the water collected during the production of oil and natural gas. The salt water can also be redistributed into a well for secondary oil recovery. No matter how the salt water is handled, heavy duty pumps are certain to be part of the process.
A single independent operator drilling multiple wells within a robust oil and gas play could produce hundreds of thousands of barrels of salt water per day. And salt water, or brine, is corrosive. The volume and corrosive nature of salt water will challenge the strength and durability of the toughest pumps.
