Our Mission

strategy

More than a water midstream company, BBR is a true water management solutions provider.

BBR is the only water midstream company to have evolved from a water treatment technology and services company. Our bottom-up approach means our team built a fundamental understanding of managing water and its implications to our customers. We do more than move and dispose of water. Solving the E&P sector’s toughest global water challenges as a technology and service company is in our DNA.

Elements of our approach:

  • Loop Strategy
    • Creating mini systems or a “loop” to support producers as they develop their fields provides the ultimate flexibility to respond to a shift in demand whether it be timing or location.
  • A Producer’s Mindset
    • The experience of our team offers a unique perspective into E&P operator water requirements for sourcing, recycling, and disposal. We do not view water challenges with the lens of a midstream or disposal operator.
  • Flexible Offtake Agreements
    • We focus on designing offtake solutions fit for our customers’ needs. This means we do not focus on acreage dedication for offtake. We have creative options that offer more flexibility to E&P operators.
  • Development Planning Capability
    • We look ahead and build out comprehensive development plans for our clients’ potential needs.
  • Water Treatment Experts
    • Our development plans and proposals will always include treatment optionality for current and future use. Globally we have treated over 1 billion barrels of water since 2015.

state-of-the-art facilities

TX delaware basin

TR UE Blue SWD, Culberson County, Texas

The TR UE Blue Saltwater Disposal (SWD) facility is strategically located in the Taylor Ranch area and serves as a critical disposal hub in the Texas Delaware Basin.

In 2025, TR UE Blue was successfully converted from a deep disposal well to a shallow disposal well in response to evolving regulatory and seismic considerations. The facility now operates with a permitted disposal capacity of 40,000 barrels per day (BPD).

Our wellbore, gathering network, and surface facilities were engineered with advanced safety systems, built-in redundancy, and modern automation to deliver reliable, compliant, and efficient disposal solutions for our operating partners.

 

NM delaware basin

Blackbuck Resources operates a premier produced-water infrastructure system in the Whites City area of the New Mexico Delaware Basin, supported by approximately 90 miles of gathering pipeline and 132,000 barrels per day of installed and permitted disposal capacity.

The system includes multiple disposal assets and the newly drilled Patriot Devonian SWD, which provides an additional 25,000 BPD of permitted capacity and enhances long-term reliability and operational flexibility.

Blackbuck’s infrastructure is designed to support both produced-water disposal and frac-water sourcing directly from the system, enabling customers to optimize logistics, reduce environmental footprint, and improve overall water-management economics.

Through strategic asset placement, robust engineering design, and operational excellence, Blackbuck delivers some of the most reliable, cost-effective, and environmentally responsible water-management solutions in the Delaware Basin.
