Water Transfer Services

Our engineers know that a substantial amount of relatively fresh water must be readily available for hydraulic fracturing since water serves as the major transport fluid. Surface water sources, such as lakes, rivers, and municipal supplies, can supply a significant volume of water. We may also supplement surface water sources with groundwater if necessary. The quality of the water used in the procedure is critical since contaminants might limit the effectiveness of the chemicals.

Whitewater can provide specific services such as water transfer and water logistics, as well as permits and crossing agreements, and frac water heating during a hydraulic fracturing operation. Even though water transfer systems look easy at first appearance, the hard labor begins long before the first drop of hydro-test water is pumped. To ensure a project’s success, Whitewater works with owners and contractors to meet Canada’s strict pipeline construction and integrity criteria.  Services like frac fluid heating are required in colder areas to keep water from freezing and maintain correct downhole tube temperatures as well as fulfill the requirements of various cross-linked gel fluid formulae. Many hydraulic fracturing operations rely on frac water heating services.
