North Dakota Class 2 SWD: White Owl’s Oilfield Processing & Disposal Services
Managing oilfield waste safely and sustainably is a critical part of energy production in the Bakken. At White Owl, we specialize in North Dakota Class 2 SWD (saltwater disposal) services, offering oil and gas operators reliable solutions for produced water and other oilfield waste streams.
White Owl’s Class 2 SWD Facilities in the Bakken
White Owl currently operates six North Dakota Class 2 SWD facilities strategically located across the heart of the Bakken oilfield:
- Tioga
- Ross
- Watford City
- Epping
- Killdeer
- New Town
These facilities provide convenient access for producers, ensuring efficient saltwater disposal (SWD) and oilfield waste management close to major drilling and production areas.
Oilfield Waste Streams We Accept
Our Class 2 facilities are designed to safely process and dispose of a wide range of oilfield byproducts. At our North Dakota Class 2 SWD sites, we accept:
- Produced water from oil and gas operations
- Stimulation fluids (flowback) from production, injection, and exploratory wells
- Enhanced recovery waters, including fresh water
- Brine reject from enhanced recovery operations
- Fresh water from oil and gas production facilities
By offering flexible intake options, White Owl makes it easier for Bakken producers to manage their waste while maintaining operational efficiency and regulatory compliance.
Future Expansion: Advanced Oilfield Processing & Recovery
White Owl’s vision goes beyond traditional disposal. Our future plans include building a network of advanced facilities to treat, process, recover, and dispose of the full range of oil and gas waste streams. Using proven processing technologies—including heat, time, and pressure—we will separate waste into three key components:
- Water (for recycling or safe disposal)
- Solids (for compliant management)
- Oil (for recovery and reuse)
This forward-looking approach ensures more efficient, convenient, and environmentally sustainable solutions for the industry.
