Company Description

We are a leading integrated, pure-play water infrastructure company with operations predominantly in the Delaware Basin, the most prolific oil and natural gas basin in North America. We believe that our strategically located network, substantial scale and built-in operational redundancies provide a competitive advantage in attracting customers and allow us to achieve significant operating and capital efficiencies. We operate the largest produced water infrastructure network in the United States through which we provide water management solutions to oil and natural gas exploration and production (“E&P”) companies under long-term contracts, which include gathering, transporting, recycling and handling produced water. As of August 31, 2025, on a pro forma basis, our infrastructure network included approximately 2,500 miles of pipelines and 197 produced water handling facilities, which handled over 2.6 million barrels per day (“bpd”) of produced water for our customers and had more than 4.5 million bpd of total produced water handling capacity. We also operate two energy waste management facilities for the disposal of non-hazardous waste resulting from oil and gas E&P activities, branded under Desert Environmental. Our synergistic relationship with LandBridge Company LLC (NYSE: LB) (“LandBridge”), a leading Delaware Basin land management company, provides us preferential access to significant underutilized pore space in and around the Delaware Basin that is necessary to meet the E&P industry’s evolving water handling needs. We manage our extensive infrastructure network through the use of our fit-for-purpose technology solutions, including our state-of-the-art centralized operations center and proprietary water forecasting platform, which enable us to monitor, measure and forecast water volumes in real-time across our infrastructure network and provide our customers with reliable and efficient water management solutions. The transportation, treatment and handling of produced water is crucial to oil and natural gas production. Water naturally exists in subsurface geologic formations that contain oil and natural gas deposits and is produced alongside, and typically in higher volumes than, hydrocarbons throughout the full life cycle of oil and natural gas wells. Produced water must be reliably separated and handled in order for these wells to be brought online and remain in production. From 2014 to 2024, produced water in the Delaware Basin grew from approximately 1.6 million bpd to approximately 13.2 million bpd, a compound annual growth rate (“CAGR”) of approximately 21%, outpacing the approximately 2.9 million bpd of oil production growth over the same period by approximately 8.8 million bpd. Due to the significant produced water volumes in the Delaware Basin in particular, our operations are critical to the ability of E&P companies to develop and produce oil and natural gas over the life cycle of a well. Our customers include some of the most active and well-capitalized E&P companies in the areas in which we operate, including BPX Energy Inc. (“bpx energy”), Chevron Corporation, subsidiaries of Devon Energy Corporation (Devon Energy Corporation, together with its wholly owned subsidiaries, “Devon”), EOG Resources, Inc. and Permian Resources Corporation. We serve our customers primarily under long-term, fixed-fee contracts that contain acreage dedications or minimum volume commitments (“MVCs”), with annual fee escalators tied to the Consumer Price Index (“CPI”) or similar inflation index. Many of our long-term, fixed-fee contracts also include areas of mutual interest (“AMIs”) that grant us the right to provide water management solutions on any leases or oil and natural gas wells subsequently acquired or operated by a customer within a specified area. Our long-term contracts are generally structured similarly to crude oil gathering contracts, and in most cases, we receive water volumes from our customers at a central gathering facility at the same point where crude oil gathering providers receive their respective crude oil volumes. Additionally, our long-term contracts typically grant us the exclusive right to provide water management solutions for all produced water volumes from our customers’ oil and natural gas wells located within the dedicated acreage, and customers are typically required to either deliver all dedicated volumes to us or pay us a fee for any diverted dedicated volumes. For the six months ended June 30, 2025, on a pro forma basis, we generated approximately 77% of our revenues under long-term, fixed-fee contracts. As of June 30, 2025, the weighted average remaining term of our long-term, fixed-fee contracts was approximately 11 years. For the six months ended June 30, 2025, on a pro forma basis, we generated approximately 51% of our water-related revenues from our top five customers and approximately 73% of our water-related revenues were generated from well-capitalized, creditworthy customers rated BB- or higher. --- We believe that our proprietary data analysis technology, which we refer to as our WAVE platform, further differentiates us from our competitors. WAVE is a fully customized water forecasting software platform that we developed around our assets and our customers. The platform facilitates data gathering, logistics optimization and scenario planning in order to enhance capital efficiency across our entire network. WAVE information outputs provide insights into system capacities and forecasted production, which we make available to our customers. We believe that the WAVE platform provides us with a unique competitive advantage that allows us to work collaboratively with our customer base, optimizing field development in both the short and long term. By allowing us to more accurately determine the necessary timing and size of each system expansion, we are able to actively manage volumes and address projected system constraints in a more timely and cost-efficient manner. We developed our infrastructure network with operational redundancies designed to ensure we deliver water management solutions during maintenance activities or other temporary interruptions, providing our customers the assurance that we will handle their water management needs reliably and consistently. This flow assurance is of paramount importance to E&P companies because any prolonged interruption in produced water handling necessitates curtailing oil and natural gas production from affected wells, resulting in lower production volumes and decreased revenue for the producer. Our proprietary WAVE technology and centralized operations center further enhance our ability to provide flow assurance to our customers by allowing real-time monitoring and optimization of our water management operations via a network of sensors, meters, cameras, in-field computers and private radio tower infrastructure. We believe that our ability to provide reliable flow assurance is a competitive advantage that enables us to attract new customers and obtain additional business from existing customers. We believe our large-scale network and built-in operational redundancies provide a competitive advantage relative to the alternatives available to E&P companies, including developing their own water management infrastructure networks, which requires significant capital investment. We also believe that our existing footprint provides us with significant growth opportunities to expand our current dedicated acreage and broaden our customer base. We share a financial sponsor, Five Point, and our management team with LandBridge. As of August 31, 2025, LandBridge owned approximately 277,000 surface acres in and around the Delaware Basin. Five Point and our management team initially formed LandBridge to acquire, manage and expand a strategic land position in the heart of the Delaware Basin to support the development of our large-scale water infrastructure network, including by providing access to pore space for handling produced water that has been gathered and transported on our pipelines. Additionally, these relationships provide our shared management team visibility into key areas of oil and natural gas production and long-term trends that have materialized into commercial successes for us, including a strategic partnership with Devon and recent commercial agreements with bpx energy. We have rights to develop produced water handling facilities on a significant portion of LandBridge’s surface acreage, including approximately 1.2 million bpd of existing produced water handling capacity and approximately 2.3 million bpd of additional permitted capacity available for future development, in each case as of August 31, 2025, on a pro forma basis. In 2023, we entered into a long-term strategic partnership with Devon pursuant to which Devon committed all its produced water within a large AMI, including an initial dedication of approximately 52,000 acres, and contributed to us 18 produced water handling facilities with approximately 375,000 bpd of permitted capacity and approximately 210 miles of produced water pipelines for gathering, transportation, disposal and reuse in exchange for an equity interest in one of our predecessor companies. Following the WaterBridge Combination and our Corporate Reorganization (each as defined below), Devon will own 17,692,370 Class B shares, representing 15.5% of our common shares, and an approximate 15.5% interest in OpCo. Our organizational structure following the offering and the Corporate Reorganization is commonly referred to as an umbrella partnership-C corporation (or “Up-C”) structure. Pursuant to this structure, following this offering we will hold a number of OpCo Units equal to the number of our issued and outstanding Class A shares, and holders of OpCo Units (each, an “OpCo Unitholder”) (other than us) will hold a number of OpCo Units equal to the number of our issued and outstanding Class B shares. The Up-C structure was selected in order to (i) provide our Existing Owners with an option to continue to hold their economic ownership interests in our business in “pass-through” form for U.S. federal income tax purposes through their ownership of OpCo Units and (ii) potentially allow our Existing Owners and us to benefit from certain net cash tax savings that we might realize in the future. --- Our principal executive offices are located at 5555 San Felipe Street, Suite 1200, Houston, Texas 77056, and our telephone number at that address is (713) 230-8864.
