• Natura, NGL collaboration on water treatment Under the terms of the agreement, Natura and NGL subsidiary NGL Water Solutions Permian LLC will collaborate in seeking opportunities to combine Natura’s 100 MW molten salt reactor (MSR) with NGL’s produced water treatment and desalination expertise. • The collaboration will utilise NGL’s expected Texas Pollutant Discharge Elimination System permit to provide a flexible, economic solution for power generation and create a new water source for Texas. • The combined system will have potential application for treating produced water from oil and gas operations on an industrial scale and will generate power and clean water for potential beneficial use in data centres, agriculture, and as a new water source for other industries. • The collaboration will also support NGL’s development of critical mineral extraction from its produced water. • Produced water is water that is produced as a byproduct of oil and gas extraction, and is typically salty or brackish as well as containing hydrocarbon residues. • NGL transports, treats, recycles and disposes of more than 3 million barrels per day of produced and flowback water generated from crude oil and natural gas production in the Permian Basin, the highest-producing oil field in the USA.
