Good article and worth reading though the excerpt was too short. There may be some investment possibilities if someone can profitably clean up the water for recycling by the oil companies or for some other commercial purpose, including irrigation.

One thing you may not have thought about.

Based on the article, it sounds like the huge amount of brine water is locked in just as tight as the hydrocarbon liquids and gas.

Once the hydrocarbons are depleted in a fracking well, the cost of extracting irrigation water would become untenable.
