Abstract

Effluent discharge from oil and gas establishments can significantly affect the quality and ecological health of natural water bodies. This study identifies potential water discharge sites across various rivers, primarily in Texas, and evaluates effluent composition using historical disclosure reports. Through the analysis of the chemical constituents of these discharges, we assess their potential environmental impact on water quality. Understanding the composition of effluents and their compliance with regulatory standards is crucial for developing sustainable water management strategies. This research provides insight into the effectiveness of current disclosure practices and highlights areas where improved monitoring and mitigation efforts may be necessary.
