Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Protection (PA DEP) 26r Detailed Produced Water Compositions (version 2.0)
A database of geochemical compositions of aqueous species in produced water reported to the PA Department of Environmental Protection (PA DEP). Samples were collected between late-2010 to late-2024. Data from publicly available PA DEP 26r reports were scraped from pdf files and cumulated into tabular spreadsheet format for >3,000 produced water streams from Marcellus Shale wells in Pennsylvania. In addition to providing the original values, the NETL NEWTS team has reformatted the dataset to allow sample streams to be easily copied into OLI Studio and Geochemist WorkBench (GWB) software for modeling the geochemistry and the recovery of critical minerals, such as lithium, from these produced water streams. ***This dataset is an updated version of the PA DEP 26r Detailed Produced Water Compositions (version 1.0) dataset, providing expanded spatial and temporal coverage.***
