Select Water Solutions Reports Surge in Recycled Water Operations

The company’s 2025 sustainability report highlights a shift toward circular operations, with recycled water accounting for 78% of total volumes sold, up from 61% the previous year. This growth is underpinned by strategic infrastructure investments, including the development of Texas's first produced water lithium extraction facility and expanded reuse pilots within the Permian Basin.

Operational performance metrics exceeded requirements tied to the company's sustainability-linked credit facility. Specifically, Select surpassed its recycled produced water targets by 17% and recorded a 51% outperformance in safety metrics. While the company achieved a 7% reduction in combined Scope 1 and Scope 2 greenhouse gas emissions, leadership noted that infrastructure expansion necessitated a slight increase in Scope 2 emissions related to the electrification of new water facilities.

CEO John Schmitz attributed these results to a business model that integrates environmental stewardship with long-term economic strategy. The company plans to build on this momentum through 2026, focusing on further optimizing its water management assets and continuing the transition toward sustainable industrial practices.
