An industry that never rests in this great country of ours is the oil and gas exploration industry – which, in short, is the unearthing of fossil fuels which generate the energy needed to fuel myriad applications in everyone’s daily routines.
That said, there’s a lot of moving pieces and parts when it comes to this type of “exploration” and the ensuing extraction of these resources. Many such oil and gas exploration sites are abundant in challenging terrain and environmental variables that could pose distraction and ecosystem maladies if not tackled appropriately. That’s where Global Environmental Solutions comes in. Our suite of products has been confidently utilized for decades, offering the appropriate solutions needed to make sure the potential environmental issues created by the work being done onsite at oil and gas exploration facilities stays onsite.
Environmental issues to consider and act upon that come in to play when we start looking at oil and gas exportation sites:
- Air quality
- Land sustainably
- Fresh water
- Soil being disturbed at sites
- Use of toxic chemicals
- Hazardous wastes
- Solid wastes and sewage
- Radioactive wastes
- Dust and/or sediment from stockpiles at sites
- Dust from traffic at sites or access roads
There are numerous ways that any of the above can be compromised due to the nature of the work being done:
- Surveying
- Blasting
- Drilling
- Extraction
- Associated incoming and outgoing site traffic
So how do we proactively combat these situations and make certain that the sites of oil and gas exploration remain safe for human and environmental life?
Let’s dive into some of the varied uses companies contract GES products for.
Oil & Gas Exploration companies have utilized us for::
- Fracking pond embankment stabilization, erosion control and sediment control [DirtGlue polymer]
- Drill Pad dust control [DustLess]
- Drill Pad stabilization [DirtGlue polymer]
- Drill Pad hard surface applications {Polymer Pavement System) [DirtGlue Industrial polymer, TerraDry and PolyCure]
- Dust control on trafficked areas such as access roads, parking lots, equipment storage lots [DustLess]
- Possible revegetation applications upon completion of drilling and removal of equipment [DirtGlue polymer)
- Stockpile capping and/or sealing [DirtGlue polymer]
- Contaminated materials containment [DirtGlue polymer]
To round it up, the Oil and Gas Exploration industry, is subject to myriad that adversely affect the environment if not treated appropriately and proactively combatted correctly. We at GES have been involved in many customized site treatment solutions over the years. If you need help or have questions, we have the answers and the products to keep your worksite safe, your workers safe, and the surrounding ecosystem safe – from the terrain, air, and water (seen and unseen).
