Water accounts for about 70% of the Earth’s surface, and is crucial to many energy making industries such as: coal, nuclear, oil,biofuel and even natural gas.
But how much of the earth’s water does frac’ing actually use?!
A typical Cabot well (in Susquehanna County, PA) requires about 6,650,000 gallons of water during the entire process. Most of which,6,200,000 gallons, is used during frac’ing.

 
Combined, the Oil & Gas Industries account for only 1% of our national water usage. With the help of ComTech Industries treatment facilities, Cabot is taking the steps to recycle.
By using a closed loop water system, Cabot is able to recycle nearly 100% of the water that is used in during drilling and completions.
Cabot can then reuse the reprocessed water for frac’ing a new well, therefore reducing the amount of additional water needed for a new well.
