BULK WATER Services for Notrees, TX

Occidental Petroleum's Stratos Direct Air Capture facility, a $1.3 billion joint venture with BlackRock on a 65-acre campus approximately 35 miles west of Odessa in Ector County, received its first-of-kind EPA Class VI injection permits in April 2025 and is designed to capture up to 500,000 metric tonnes of atmospheric CO2 per year, making the Notrees corridor the site of the world's largest operational direct air capture facility, with capture trains entering wet commissioning and requiring sustained bulk water for system flushing, thermal cycling, and process circuit startup. Ector County's 19,700-plus drilled wells add a dense upstream oil and gas backdrop, placing Notrees at the intersection of cutting-edge industrial commissioning water demand and the continuous field service environment of the western Permian Basin's most active producing corridor. Facilities of this technical complexity require confirmed water supply arrangements well before commissioning begins, as system wet-out procedures and crew support depend on bulk water that cannot be sourced reliably through ad hoc arrangements once startup windows open. Water Runner provides TCEQ-licensed bulk water delivery with the Permian Basin fleet capacity to serve Notrees-area industrial facilities, upstream field programs, and infrastructure projects from first mobilization through full operational handoff.
