Produced Water Regulation

Diamondback Energy, Inc. · 2026-08-05 · Importance 44 · Surprise 60

The Texas Railroad Commission recently imposed a moratorium on new produced water disposal well permits to control induced seismicity in the Permian Basin. The restriction could affect Diamondback’s access to produced-water disposal capacity and its water-management activities. Diamondback also identifies limits on produced-water use and related state and federal environmental requirements as factors that could affect operations.
