Oilfield Waste Treatment Facility

A major oil and gas producer sought to reduce the time from wellsite abandonment to reclamation certification, due to population growth pressures in their operational area. They also aimed to remediate contaminated soil from both abandoned and operational sites, affected by 'light end' hydrocarbons. On-site treatment was impractical due to proximity to residents.

To address landowner concerns and meet municipal and provincial guidelines, Earthmaster collaborated with the client to build a standalone oilfield waste treatment facility. Earthmaster designed and constructed a three-hectare facility for processing contaminated soil from various sites.

Earthmaster has operated this facility for over 20 years, remediating and recycling over 148,000 tonnes of soil that would otherwise have gone to landfill saving the client over $900,000. The facility has maintained excellent regulatory compliance, thanks to precise treatment records, strong relationships with landowners, and rigorous maintenance.
