Dr. Joshua Brownlow, Baylor Geosciences PhD alumnus (2016) recently co-authored a publication demonstrating a method to treat produced water in an effort to reduce injected disposal volumes in the Permian Basin.

Dr. Brownlow studied with Dr. Joe C. Yelderman Jr. and the late Dr. Scott James while at Baylor and now works as Senior Staff Geologist, Strategic Planning and Field Development at Pioneer Natural Resources in their Subsurface Technology Division. The article was published in the Journal “Desalination” and is entitled, Field demonstration of intensified membrane distillation for treating oil field produced waters for unconventional wells”.

It is great to see our alumni having success in their careers. Equally gratifying is seeing their contributions improving water management for the betterment of society.
