Gathering Systems are an alternative method for transporting saltwater from well locations to SWD facilities. The initial capital costs to build the infrastructure for piping saltwater are greater than the capital costs of transporting the saltwater by truck, however the operating expenses to the producer after the pipeline is constructed is significantly lower, and the net economics over the lifespan of the well are superior, especially for long-lived crude oil and natural gas wells. Buckhorn provides complete solutions from planning to operations on Buckhorn owned gathering systems. In addition, Buckhorn works strategically with midstream companies on joint gathering projects.
