“Aris Water Solutions, Inc. (NYSE:ARIS) provides water infrastructure and solutions for the oil and gas industry within the Delaware subbasin of the Permian Basin in West Texas and southeastern New Mexico. The shares declined because of concerns about what the recent down turn in oil prices would mean for drilling activity on the company’s footprint. Despite this ongoing fluid situation, the company’s results remain more tied to ongoing oil production, where it provides an essential service to operators, primarily by handling, disposing of, or recycling volumes of produced water that continue to grow as shale wells mature and the quality of the resource slowly declines.”
