MYCELX brings water treatment technology to basin
MYCELX is bringing its water treatment technology to the Permian Basin. Shown is a 20,000 barrel-per-day MYCELX Advanced Coalescer system.
A new water treatment technology born of the 1989 Exxon Valdez oil spill is making its way to the Permian Basin.
MYCELX founder Hal Alper developed the MYCELX polymer, a material that permanently and chemically bonds hydrocarbons on contact rather than simply filtering them. In 1994, he co-founded MYCELX Technologies with petroleum industry veteran John Mansfield Sr. The company has since grown from a single polymer innovation into a global water treatment provider with expertise in produced water treatment across onshore and offshore operations.
MYCELX Deploys Advanced Water Treatment Technology in Permian Basin
MYCELX Technologies is introducing a specialized water treatment system to the Permian Basin to manage produced water and enhance oil recovery. The technology, which originated from the 1989 Exxon Valdez oil spill, utilizes a unique polymer to chemically bond hydrocarbons on contact.
The company is targeting the Texas region with two primary systems: the MYCELX Advanced Coalescer (MAC) and the Regenerative Media Filter (REGEN). These automated technologies function without chemical additives or emissions, offering a small operational footprint for onshore and offshore operations according to reports from mrt.com on May 2, 2026.
"One is the MAC — MYCELX Advanced Coalescer — and the second is REGEN, the Regenerative Media Filter. Combined, the technologies can recover 99% sales-quality oil from produced water while also collecting suspended solids," said Garrett Rasor, business development manager for oil and gas.

ExxonMobil to shoulder Permian oil production growth in 2026
As they reported their year-end 2025 results, Permian Basin exploration and production companies detailed expectations for modest growth in 2026.
East Daley Analytics’ survey of guidance from 14 public operators pointed to growth of 183,000 barrels per day, or 2.7%, in oil production in 2026.
The clear outlier is ExxonMobil, which projected growth of 113,000 barrels per day this year.
“It boils down to the depth of our inventory, high return inventory,” said Rich Dealy, ExxonMobil’s vice president for the Permian Basin.
With 1.5 million acres, he told the Reporter-Telegram, the company has room for longer laterals, cube development to mitigate parent-child well interference and testing of new technologies.
