Where do the fluids go?• A portion will initially flowback prior to production. Flowbackis collected in the flowback tanks (or lined pits).• The rest will ultimately flowback as produced water from thewell. This will be collected in the production tanks (or linedpits).• Then it is reused at another site or disposed of into injectionwells or other E&P waste disposal facility. Same thing for theproduced water.• In La Plata County all flowback goes to tanks for ultimatedisposal into injection wells16
