Treating all the effluent of the West #Texas oilfield would require up to 26 gigawatts of power, more than the total generation capacity of most U.S. states. Even if operators achieved their ambitious target efficiencies, the Permian would still need an additional five gigawatts, enough to power about five million average American homes. https://www.texasobserver.org/texas-oilfield-wastewater-energy/
#Russia’s second-largest oil producer, Lukoil, reported a 26.5% drop in net profit for 2024, citing asset impairment losses and increased deferred taxes.
