Planning
ARKANSAS
Exxon Mobil and Tetra Technologies Inc. they plan to build a bromine production facility and a lithium brine extraction manufacturing facility along the Columbia-Lafayette county line. Tetra has recently introduced a bromine-based electrolyte for long-term energy storage. Bromine is also in demand as flame retardants for electric vehicles. The same saltwater brine that Tetra proposes to produce from its potential production field can also be used to produce lithium. Tetra plans to drill five brine supply wells in Columbia County, as well as five injection wells to send the brine back into the Smackover Formation once the bromine is extracted. The project is valued at 500 million dollars. Tetra Technologies Inc., 24955 Interstate 45, The Woodlands, Texas, 77380. DR#23-00297709.
