The article indicates that they reuse it for fracking, diluting it with new
water. The article also notes that Fortuna was a little surprised to find
that salt buildup was not a problem with fluid recovered from this
formation. If that proves to be the case across the region, it would be it
would be extraordinarily helpful in reducing the environmental impacts of
fracking.

Do you have more information on where and how Fortuna recyles its
recovered fracking fluid?

Besides the suggestion of using total dissolved solids as an indicator
for the presence of fracking fluid contamination, the article is
interesting in its mentioning that Fortuna now recycles its recovered
fracking fluids for subsequent frackings. If that were to be the norm, it
would go a long way toward addressing the issue of water use (it would
reduce the water needs by 40%) and disposal of used fluid.
