What do you do with the waste water from a well producing say 10 bpd ?
I assume you must collect it somehow and have it taken away?
Typically after separating from the oil/gas, the producer pays to have it hauled and pays to have it injected into deep levels , well below drinking water.
This water will have a significant salt content, and is injected into a brine water reservoir.
Sometimes, in a larger field, it can be injected on the edges of an older producing oil field and the fluid flow helps sweep more oil to the producing well.

Yes, it goes into tanks on the lease, then is periodically hauled away, to be disposed underground in salt water disposal wells. a few places have their own disposal system.
