Strategic Asset Sale Water Standard recently sold certain assets and IP to Aris Water Solutions, indicating a consolidation in the produced water treatment space. This presents an opportunity to engage Aris or locate successor clients in the Permian Basin for potential collaboration or licensing of remaining Water Standard technologies.
