Energy Storage Technologies (Lithium-ion)
As part of our commitment to innovation and sustainability, our company is exploring lithium extraction from produced waters, a byproduct of oil and gas extraction. This initiative leverages technology to transform the contents of produced waters into a valuable asset for energy storage solutions. Produced waters often contain significant lithium concentrations. Although our initial study revealed a low lithium concentration, we will continue to test samples from different areas of our operations. Utilizing produced waters for lithium extraction not only supports the development of lithium-ion batteries but also enhances the profitability and environmental sustainability of our operations.
