How Did Midstream Water Become a US$26 Billion-a-Year Business?
Today's episode dives into one of the most critical—yet often overlooked—pieces of the U.S. energy and water puzzle: midstream water in oil and gas. Host Reese Tisdale is joined by Sophie Washington, Senior Analyst at Bluefield Research, who recently authored Bluefield's new Insight Report: U.S. Midstream Water for Hydraulic Fracturing: Market Trends, Opportunities, and Forecasts, 2025–2030.
In this conversation, Reese and Sophie unpack how the midstream water sector has evolved from a cost center into a strategic enabler for U.S. shale producers. They explore what’s driving the US$156 billion market through 2030, how water reuse and infrastructure investments are reshaping operations, and why water management in U.S. shale has become a key part of the global energy story.
In this episode, Bluefield's water experts discuss:
What is midstream water?
How large is the market?
Why should we care about this?
What's driving market growth and change?
Where are the regional hotspots?
Who are the key players and how is the competitive landscape changing?
