THE PERMIAN BASIN
According to Forbes Energy, “The Permian Basin
has long been the most important oil and gas
producing area in the United States.” The
Permian Basin is a significant oil producing area
covering 59 counties in West Texas. The Saltwater
Recycling Facilities (SWR) in both Ward and
Reeves Counties are located in the Permian Basin.
The SWR’s provide saltwater recycling services to
the West Texas oil and gas industry, also located
in the Permian Basin.
Reports continue to predict the oil production in the Permian Basin will increase through
2018. E&P Magazine credits this continued success to the established infrastructure (some
wells dating first production to 1920’s), proximity to the Gulf Coast, and well known
formations.

KEY BENEFITS OF THE SWR FACILITY PROJECTS
1. LOCATION - West Texas Permian Basin oil patch of Texas, the region with the
largest number of producing wells and the most rapid growth in new oil production.
2. STABLE TEA - $ 500,000.00 investment level, qualifies for approval as a “Rural
Project”. This designation is unaffected by the newly proposed EB-5 legislation,
unlike the “Big City”, urban projects.
3. PREDICTABLE JOB CREATION - which is critical in meeting the requirements to
qualify for the green card. Expenditure model economic study conducted by Kim
Atteberry, former Chief Economist at USCIS.
4. PROJECT OWNS THE LAND - for the facility. All components of the facility are
prefabricated, allowing for a 90 to 120-day construction timeline. This provides
documentation for the expenditure model (job creation requirement) in the very
earliest stages of the project.
5. SOLID EXIT STRATEGY - in place to return all of investor’s original investment based
on cash profits generated from the project’s strong cash flow. No need to sell the
property or refinance to pay off the EB-5 loan.
6. FIRST POSITION - EB-5 investors have a first priority security interest in all of the
projects assets (land, equipment, accounts receivables, etc.) that are pledged as
collateral against the EB-5 loan.
7. ECO-FRIENDLY -our projects are “Green Projects” that protect
the environment by recycling the wastewater created from oil
production. Unlike our competition, we remove the chemicals
and solids, and dispose of the waste without the use of injection
holes that force the water back into the earth.
8. CUTTING EDGE TECHNOLOGY - we have an exclusive “water polishing”
technology that removes all of the skim oil from the produced water at cost and
volume levels unmatched in the industry.
9. USCIS DESIGNATION - Great Southwest Regional Center, LLC received approval
from the USCIS as a “Designated Regional Center” in May of 2012.
10. ELITE TEAM OF PROFESSIONALS - during the past four years, GSWRC has assembled an elite team of professionals, comprised of pre-imminent Immigration and Securities law firms, Economists, Business Consultants, and Project Developers.

UPDATES IN THE OIL
AND GAS INDUSTRY
Sources continue to predict an
increase in oil production and oil
prices. The predictions are based
on several factors. On the
forefront, those contributors
include reduced stockpiles of over
supplies and an increase in
demands in Asian for new
development.
Oilprice.com reports, “The oil glut
is over, says the world’s most
powerful man.” The newly
appointed Minister Energy,
Industry and Mineral Resources of
Saudi Arabia, or “oil Minister”
spoke to the Houston Chronicle
newspaper advised that the
overproduction and supply glut
are finally vanishing. He noted
with the disappearance of the
oversupply, approximately 530
million barrels, we would see a
gradual increase in the price of oil,
as the demands around the world
increase.
Contributing to the demand that
will lessen the oversupply of oil, is
Asia’s developing country of
Myanmar. Asia Development
Bank reports, “After decades of
isolation, the Southeast Asian
nation of Myanmar is roaring
ahead with the fastest growing
economy in Asia in 2016.”
Despite the devastating cyclone
that struck in 2015, Myanmar’s
economy is expected to grow at a
rate of 8.4 percent in 2016 and 8.3
percent in 2017.
World Bank also reports, other
Asian contributors include the
Philippines and Vietnam. Growth
in the rest of developing East Asia
remains resilient and is expected
to ease from 6.5% in 2015 to 6.3%
in 2016 and 6.2% in 2017-18.
Noteworthy of mention, other
factors that contribute to the
prediction of the oil production
and price increases, include, ideal
production environments, budget
cuts in sectors of the oil industry in
oil producing countries, and of all
things, reduction in oil production.
Long term, the reduction in
production will result in an
increase in demand and ultimately
drive up the cost.
The consensus in predictions,
“what goes down, must come
up.”

THE STRATEGIC WATER
SOLUTIONS CORNER
FRACKING BOOM DRIVES INCREASE IN WASTEWATER TREATMENT
In line with the predictions for increases in oil prices, Navigant Research reports increases in
wastewater treatment as well. Extracting oil requires water, tons of water, literally. One
method of extracting oil is referred to as hydraulic fracturing or “fracking”.
Hydraulic fracturing or “fracking” is the process of pumping fine sand suspended in a mixture
of water and polymer at high pressures into the well to crack open rock formations to release
oil and gas. When this mixture flows back, the sand remains in the formation and provides
channels for the oil and gas to flow into the main well bore to reach the surface.
It is estimated that fracking consumes up to 9.6 million gallons of water per well per day, up
from 4.3 million gallons per day. On the front end, the hydraulic fracking wells withdraw large
volumes of water in the fracking process; up to one million gallons of freshwater per wellhead.
On the backend, up to 60% of the water injected into the wellhead during fracking, will
discharge back out of the well as flow back wastewater. During the life of the fracking well, it
will discharge an estimated 100,000 gallons of wastewater per day.
Navigant’s recently published report analyzes the wastewater treatment market between 2016
and 2025. The report predicts revenue from water treatment from both fracking and the
declining method of deep well injection, is expected to reach $4 billion by the year 2025.

WATER SYNERGY THROUGH ABOVE GROUND REMEDIATION
Our guiding philosophy in developing solutions for water treatment is Water Synergy:
Eco-Friendly Solutions
Cost Effective Operations
New Revenue Streams
Our business model aims to achieve all three value drivers for the oil & gas industry.
There has never been a better time to seize the opportunity to provide superior water treatment
solutions to the oil & gas industry and the timing is ideal to be regarded as an innovator in the
industry. The industry as a whole is grasping for solutions to operate in a more cost- effective manner.
The answer is the Strategic Water Solutions (SWS) filtration system.
Each system is developed and sized for
capacity, with state-of-the-art point of use
controls. Equipment will include a series of
different sized micron filters, specially-
treated ceramic membranes, centrifugal
pumps, Flow meters, pressure sensors and
electronically activated valves with a fail-safe
free flow fluid path.
The basic function of SWS ceramic
membranes is to “de-water” the wastewater.
SWS utilizes a proprietary coating that
separates the organics from water, and allows each element to be re-used or recycled, adding
tremendous value to what traditionally is disposed of as waste.
ECO-FRIENDLY OIL COMPANIES & INDUSTRY99.9% removal of reservoir damaging bacteria from the
water.
Consistent water quality output with a varying quality
feed water.
No chemicals are used ("green" process).pH levels between 4 and 12 do not affect the filter
properties.The technology prevents filter fouling, which reduces
downtime, costs, and impact on the environment.Minimal moving parts (feed pump, recirculation pump).
Low energy cost (50-70 psi differential pressure). Less than .08 ppm of TSS remaining.
Ahead of the curve for environmental compliance and
regulations.Scalability to handle multiple applications and volumes.
