Oil, Gas, Lithium Report: Saltwerx receives permits for three lithium wells in Columbia, Lafayette counties
magnoliareporter.com
Saltwerx LLC of The Spring, TX, has been issued permits to drill three wildcat wells in Columbia and Lafayette counties for possible lithium production.
According to published reports, ExxonMobil plans to build a large lithium processing facility in the Columbia-Lafayette County area, but it has not acquired property for that purpose and it hasn’t formally announced any construction plans.
Reports also said that in May, ExxonMobil paid Galvanic Energy of Moore, OK, about $100 million for mineral leases to 120,000 acres of land that Saltwerx spent years acquiring for Galvanic.
Saltwerx has been acquired by ExxonMobil.
Saltwerx is listed as the operator for all three of the wells, but no contractor has been named.

It's a work in progress especially the direct extraction plants/equipment. I'd be happy for that technology and first design projects get proven and tweeked before coming to E TX. Drilling the wells, once the right combination of lithium concentration and water volume locations are identified, is the easy part. What I'm wondering is how the brine is transported from well to plant. I expect that it may be pretty caustic.

Yes I have leased my minerals down at Macedonia and waiting for this to get started. Sounds like fun.

The land man that engaged us about signing a lease told us that the company would build the facility for processing and then build pipelines all throughout the areas of the smack over to get the brine water to that facility. Of course, then they have to pump that processed water back. It’s been a bit since he explained it— and I could be remembering wrong and he might have been guessing— with full disclosure that it was guessing. Like I said, it’s been awhile.
