FROM SUBSURFACE BRINES TO CRITICAL MINERALS

Unlocking a New Resource Opportunity

What if subsurface water could become a new source of critical minerals?

Produced water, deep aquifer brines, and geothermal brines—traditionally viewed as fluids to be managed—are increasingly being recognized as valuable resource streams. Emerging technologies are creating opportunities to recover critical minerals from these waters, transforming an operational and environmental liability into economic value and advancing a circular water economy.

Among these opportunities, lithium stands out as one of the most strategically important, driven by growing demand for batteries, energy storage, and electrification.

Against this backdrop, CPG–KFUPM is pleased to launch a new International Weekly Webinar Series:

Direct Lithium Extraction from Subsurface Brines

Across nine sessions, leading experts from academia, industry, and technology will explore the science, technologies, economics, and commercialization pathways needed to advance Direct Lithium Extraction (DLE) toward scalable deployment.

DATE: September 2 – November 4, 2026

FORMAT: Weekly Webinar Series | Open Worldwide

PROGRAM: 9 sessions led by leading Subject Matter Experts

Speakers to be announced soon. Stay tuned.

Together with Saudi Aramco and Dhahran Techno Valley (DTV), CPG–KFUPM is creating a platform to Learn. Collaborate. Transform.—and to explore how subsurface water resources can contribute to the future of critical minerals and the emerging circular water economy.
