Select Water and LibertyStream to Build Texas Lithium Carbonate Network from Oilfield Brines

An announcement from Volt Lithium ( (TSE:LIB) ) is now available.

Select Water Solutions and LibertyStream Infrastructure Partners have signed a definitive agreement to deploy commercial lithium carbonate production facilities at Select’s water treatment and recycling sites in the Midland Basin, Texas. The deal combines Select’s extensive produced-water infrastructure with LibertyStream’s lithium extraction technology to tap lithium contained in Permian Basin oilfield brines.

The partners plan a three-stage rollout starting with a 1,000-tonne-per-year battery-grade lithium carbonate plant at Select’s Howard County site, slated for commissioning by December 2026. Subsequent stages will add at least three more units across multiple counties by mid-2027, creating new high-margin revenue streams for Select while advancing a model of converting oil and gas waste streams into valuable battery materials for U.S. customers.
