Reclaiming Wellsites Within Native Grasslands

A mid-sized oil and gas producer abandoned 30 shallow gas wellsites in native grasslands within the same field.

Earthmaster collaborated closely with the landowner to ensure comfort with the reclamation plan and timing. Local client personnel were consulted for safety permits, communication protocol, and work scope. Earthmaster coordinated equipment and materials, using landowner-approved topsoil, to reclaim the wellsites in a single effort. The process included topdressing, recontouring, preparing seed beds, sowing site-specific seed mixes, and fencing to protect from cattle.

Effective cost control was achieved by managing all projects together, and strong communication was established with the landowner and client personnel, ensuring a successful project.
