Buckeye Brine Adds Second Injection Well, Business Expands Rapidly

Buckeye Brine is a relatively new Ohio company that has so far built one brine injection well in Coshocton County, OH and is drilling a second injection now and considering adding a frack wastewater recycling facility. Quick tutorial: After an oil or gas well is drilled and fracked, wastewater from fracking flows back out for a week or two. After that, over time (years in some cases) naturally occurring water from deep underground--not fresh water from near the surface, but water from thousands of feet down--continues to flow from some wells. That naturally occurring water contains a lot of dissolved minerals in it, making it much "saltier" than even ocean water--hence the term brine. Buckeye injects brine back into the ground. A bit more about Buckeye's operation to date, and what they have planned...
