Understanding how water, pressure, and disposal capacity are shaping Permian development economics.
Water management in the Permian Basin has entered a new phase. Disposal capacity, formation pressure, regulatory oversight, and pore space availability increasingly define where development remains viable and how capital is deployed.
B3 Insight’s 2H-2025 Permian Water Market Trends and Forecast Report frames water management as a long-lived, capital-intensive infrastructure system that directly influences development pace, asset valuation, and long-term strategy.
Permian Water Planning Is Increasingly About Capacity
Produced water volumes across the Permian Basin continue to grow, and disposal capacity is now a defining planning variable. Formation pressure, regulatory oversight, and pore space availability shape where water can move and how long infrastructure remains effective.
B3 Insight’s 2H-2025 Permian Water Market Trends and Forecast Report frames water management as long-lived, capital-intensive infrastructure governed by physical and regulatory constraints. The report provides context beyond historic volume trends to support long-term operational, investment, and valuation decisions.
