About Select Water Solutions, Inc.
About Select Water Solutions, Inc.
Select Water Solutions generated 51% of its 2025 revenue from Permian Basin operations across Texas and New Mexico, where the company operates large-diameter pipeline networks, fixed recycling facilities, and saltwater disposal wells. The company's water infrastructure network included 2.4 million barrels per day of fixed recycling capacity, 2.3 million barrels per day of permitted disposal capacity, and 35 million barrels of produced water storage as of December 31, 2025, supplemented by positions in the Haynesville, Northeast, Rockies, and Bakken regions.
Select Water Solutions earns revenue across three segments. Water Infrastructure develops and operates permanent infrastructure—including fixed and mobile recycling facilities, pipeline systems, and saltwater disposal wells—under long-term contractual agreements often exceeding a decade, encompassing acreage dedications, wellbore dedications, and minimum volume commitments. Water Services provides completion-phase water transfer, sourcing, containment, and automation, plus mobile power and accommodations through the Peak Rentals subsidiary, which has been under strategic review since August 2025. Chemical Technologies manufactures hydraulic fracturing additives, cementing chemicals, and water treatment solutions sold to E&P companies and pressure-pumping service providers; approximately 8% of chemical raw material feedstock originated in China in 2025, creating tariff exposure following a 2025 escalation in U.S.-China trade tensions. Demand for all three segments depends directly on E&P customer capital spending, which was influenced by an average WTI crude price of $65.39 per barrel in 2025, down from $76.63 in 2024.

The Permian Basin concentration exposes Select Water Solutions to basin-specific supply-demand shifts, including recent operator consolidation that may reduce capital spending. The 10-K also flags Texas v. New Mexico and Colorado, a stayed water-rights case in which an adverse ruling against New Mexico could restrict access to water for operations in that state. The states reached a water-sharing agreement in 2022 that determines annual delivery amounts, but the federal government opposed that agreement, and the parties were required to return to mediation in December 2024, leaving the resolution still pending.
