The brine in the Pennsylvanian Morrow Formation in the Anadarko Basin contains about 300 parts per million iodine, and is the only current commercial source of that element in the United States. Three companies extract iodine from brine produced as a byproduct of natural gas production from depths of 5,000 feet (1,500 m) to 13,000 feet (4,000 m).
Global demand could exceed 322 million cubic meters by 2035 for the gas used widely in manufacturing due to its cooling and inert properties, said the report, released in August. The global ...
