about deep blue
each barrel of water produced and consumed by our customers is a critical aspect of Deep Blue’s mission.
Deep Blue develops, owns, and operates integrated midstream water infrastructure networks for exploration and production companies throughout the Midland Basin.
our mission
Our mission is to create value for our customers by addressing their long-term water management requirements through our integrated pipeline system and advanced technologies.

Every day, we strive to provide exploration and production companies with safe, reliable, and efficient gathering, storage or reuse of produced water through our water pipelines and related infrastructure.
What we do
Modern Water Management Solutions
