Here are 1-2 brief analogies for Select Water Solutions (WTTR):

• The Waste Management (WM) of the oilfield, but for water.
• The FedEx (FDX) of water for the oil & gas industry.

• Water Sourcing & Transfer: Provides access to and transportation of water for oil and gas drilling and completion activities.
• Water Logistics: Manages the planning, execution, and optimization of water movement, including trucking and pipeline solutions.
• Water Treatment & Recycling: Treats produced water and flowback to meet reuse specifications, reducing freshwater consumption.
• Water Disposal: Operates saltwater disposal wells for the safe and compliant disposal of produced water and other fluids.
• Flowback & Production Water Management: Manages and processes water returned from wells during and after completion, as well as ongoing produced water.
• Completions & Rental Solutions: Offers specialized equipment rentals and services to support well completion operations.

Select Water Solutions (WTTR) primarily sells its services to other companies, specifically oil and gas exploration and production (E&P) companies.

WTTR provides a comprehensive suite of water management services, including sourcing, transfer, containment, treatment, and disposal, to support the drilling and completion activities of E&P operators.

Based on the company's public filings, Select Water Solutions has a diversified customer base within the E&P sector. Its most recent Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023, states that no single customer accounted for more than 10% of its total revenue. For this reason, WTTR does not disclose the names of individual major customers in its public filings.

Therefore, while WTTR serves a wide array of publicly traded and privately held E&P companies operating across major U.S. basins, specific names of major customers cannot be provided as they are not publicly disclosed by the company.

The accelerated development and widespread adoption of highly efficient, localized, and potentially mobile water recycling and treatment technologies by exploration and production (E&P) operators or specialized competitors poses a clear emerging threat. These advancements could significantly reduce the need for large-scale freshwater sourcing, extensive water transfer pipelines, and centralized wastewater disposal infrastructure, which constitute a substantial portion of Select Water Solutions' current asset base and service offerings. This shift towards more self-sufficient, closed-loop water management systems at or near the wellhead could diminish the demand for WTTR's traditional integrated water services, disrupting its asset-heavy business model in a manner analogous to how streaming services impacted physical media rental.

The addressable markets for Select Water Solutions' main products and services are primarily within the U.S. and North America, focusing on the energy industry.

• Water Services and Water Infrastructure: The U.S. midstream water market for oil and gas, which encompasses water sourcing, transfer, treatment, and disposal, is projected to reach a total of $156 billion between 2025 and 2030, averaging over $26 billion per year. The U.S. produced water treatment market alone surpassed $2.46 billion in 2024 and is projected to reach approximately $5.33 billion by 2034. North America held the largest share of the produced water treatment market in 2024.
• Chemical Technologies: The oilfield chemicals market in the U.S. is projected to grow to an estimated value of $12.52 billion by 2032. Another estimate indicates the U.S. oilfield chemicals market was $5.93 billion in 2024 and is expected to reach around $9.05 billion by 2034.

1. Expansion of Water Infrastructure Segment: Select Water Solutions is actively expanding its Water Infrastructure segment through new long-term contracts, organic growth, and strategic acquisitions in key basins like the Permian. The company anticipates approximately 10% sequential growth in Water Infrastructure in Q4 2025 and expects over 20% year-over-year growth in this segment for 2026. This expansion includes increasing dedicated acreage for water recycling and disposal, as evidenced by new long-term contracts such as an 11-year agreement in the Northern Delaware Basin adding 265,000 dedicated acres and other agreements encompassing over 1.0 million acres under dedication or right-of-first-refusal in New Mexico.

2. Growth in Chemical Technologies Segment: The Chemical Technologies segment has shown strong performance, with a 13% sequential increase in revenue and a 34% rise in gross profit in Q3 2025. This growth is attributed to new product development, key customer wins, and ongoing market share gains. The company projects steady performance for this segment in Q4 2025 with strong margins and anticipates continued positive contributions to overall revenue.

3. Increased Water Recycling and Environmentally Responsible Disposal Volumes: Select Water Solutions is focused on scaling its water recycling and disposal capacity. The company aims to achieve more than 400 million barrels of water recycling annually by 2030 and increased its treated or recycled water volume by 9% in 2024 compared to 2023. Expanding environmentally responsible disposal volumes also contributes to revenue growth, with a 41% increase reported in 2024. The company's strategic initiatives include enhancing existing water infrastructure and securing new long-term contracts that incorporate recycling, storage, disposal, and pipeline gathering and distribution.

4. Strategic Acquisitions and Divestitures to Enhance Margin Profile: Select Water Solutions has been engaging in strategic acquisitions of infrastructure assets, such as landfill and treatment sites in the Bakken, while divesting non-core operations like certain trucking units. While some divestitures may lead to short-term reductions in Water Services revenues, the long-term goal is to improve consolidated margins and reduce operational risk, ultimately supporting more profitable revenue growth in the Water Infrastructure segment.
