After a 10 year legal process, it was found that the private wells of the town of Dimock had been contaminated by local injection wells. EcoVAP is an inexpensive alternative to injection wells with its ability to evaporate water at 59x the normal rate, reducing produced water volumes at the well head by >90%.

This has lead to more stringent regulations on the Texas side of the basin that are expected to affect 76 facilities. On the western side, New Mexico regulators are also considering a variety of measure to reduce earthquake risk.
