Abstract:
Method includes recovering a stimulating fluid, which includes transferring working fluid having the stimulating fluid from an operating site (102) to a current temporary processing facility (TPF) (110) that is located remotely with respect to the operating site in the geographical region. After purifying the working fluid at the current TPF (110), thereby providing the stimulating fluid, the stimulating fluid is transferred from the current TPF to an injection site (103) that is located remotely with respect to the current TPF and the operating site. The method also includes transporting fluid-handling equipment after a designated condition has been satisfied. The fluid-handling equipment is transported from the current TPF (110) to a new TPF (110). The recovering of the stimulating fluid, the transferring of the stimulating fluid, and the transporting of the fluid-handling equipment is repeated a plurality of times. The current and new TPFs are at different locations within the geographical region.
