This document summarizes water management considerations for hydraulic fracturing operations in the Bakken shale formation in North Dakota. It discusses water use, sourcing, transportation, storage, treatment and disposal of produced water. The average water use per well is 2.1 million gallons, ranging from 1 to 9.5 million gallons, with primary sources being municipal fresh water and Lake Sakakawea. Produced water quality ranges from 30,000 to 250,000 ppm TDS. Approximately 20% of produced water is reused for fracturing while the remaining 80% is disposed via underground injection.
