In her 1,776 word interview, exlusively in the Wall Street Transcript, Ms. Brock details her strategy for maximizing returns for her shareholders in Aris Water Solutions (ARIS):
“Aris Water Solutions (ARIS) was founded in late 2016 and was originally backed by two private equity groups.
We are a growth-oriented environmental infrastructure company with a demonstrated ESG record that delivers full-cycle water handling and recycling solutions to our customers.
Our asset footprint is primarily located in the Northern Delaware Basin in southern New Mexico, with additional assets in the Midland Basin in Texas. Our infrastructure and service offerings help our customers mitigate their environmental impact and water footprints by maximizing the recycling of produced water and minimizing the use of fresh and groundwater.
We are a leader in recycling operations in the Permian Basin.
While we have a diversified customer base, ConocoPhillips is our largest shareholder.
We had a prior relationship and long-term, large acreage dedication with Concho Resources who was purchased by ConocoPhillips in 2021. Since ConocoPhillips inherited this position, we’ve been able to expand our relationship with additional contracts and recycling services.”
Aris Water Solutions (ARIS) provides a vital service to the oil and gas producers in the Permian:
“The Permian Basin is an arid area and every barrel of water we recycle is a barrel of groundwater or fresh water that is not extracted from local water resources.
Our recycling activity has an immediate and long-term benefit for our customers, the communities in which we operate, the environment, and our investors and stakeholders.
In addition, we are very active working with universities, the DOE, private technology companies, our customers, and others focused on identifying and adapting technologies for beneficial reuse of treated produced water outside of the oil and gas industry.
Regulators in both Texas and New Mexico are looking at promulgating regulations governing the treatment and use of this water oiutside of the oil and gas industry, and anticipating these regulations, we’re engaged in several pilot projects.
For example, we are working with Texas A&M University evaluating the use of treated produced water for irrigation of cotton — a non-consumptive crop — which looks promising.
We are also looking at other alternatives which include irrigation of rangeland grass for carbon sequestration. These are all extremely important initiatives, and you will see us continuing to proactively look for other uses for this water.”
