GreenHunter Resources Announces Significant New SWD Injection Capacity

GRAPEVINE, Texas--()--GreenHunter Resources, Inc. (NYSE MKT: GRH) (NYSE MKT: GRH.PRC), a diversified water resource, waste management, environmental services, and hydrocarbon marketing company specializing in unconventional oil and natural gas shale resource plays, announced today that it has received permits and has completed downhole performance tests on new wells at its Mills Hunter Facility, located in Meigs County, Ohio. Recent bottom hole integrity tests of these wells indicate injection volume capabilities of between 3,000 to 5,000 barrels of oilfield brine water per day per well. This increase in capacity is in line with earlier projections made by the company to double injection capacity by the end of calendar year 2014. The addition of these wells brings GreenHunter’s SWD well count up to 13 in the Appalachian Basin, with a new total daily injection capacity exceeding 31,000 bbls per day.
The majority of this new oilfield brine water injection capacity at the Mills Hunter Facility has already been committed to several large E&P companies active in the region, secured through long term take-or-pay agreements.
Commenting on the addition of four new SWD wells to the Company’s existing portfolio, Kirk Trosclair, EVP and Chief Operating Officer, stated, “The continued build-out of our Mills Hunter Facility ensures GreenHunter’s firm commitment to its core business for our customers. All SWD wells in this area of Mills Hunter are being connected via underground pipelines, which will significantly improve operating performance, while at the same time greatly reducing our overall trucking expense, including wait times. No other SWD injection facility located in the Appalachia region will have this amount of disposal capacity, along with state-of-the-art equipment and virtually zero trucking wait times. This facility has also been designed to accommodate our future barging plan along the Ohio River, which will include a terminal at this location.”
