What Select Water Solutions does

Provides water sourcing, transfer, disposal and recycling infrastructure and chemicals for oil & gas well completions.

Charges per barrel of water it supplies, moves and disposes of, and sells chemicals for well completions, so volume follows operators' drilling and completion activity. It has been emphasizing long-term fee arrangements for pipelines and disposal wells over short-term services.

Products and services

Where it sits in the supply chain

  • Energy
  • Oilfield services
  • Water management infrastructure…

What could go right

  • Rising produced water volumes from drilling
  • Water recycling regulatory tailwinds

What could go wrong

  • Oil & gas drilling activity cyclicality
  • Regulatory changes on water disposal

Moat: narrow (scale, installed base). Large pipeline/disposal-well network is capital-intensive and geographically hard to replicate quickly.
