Options for Dealing with the Water Stored in Frac Pits
Frac pits may be designed with care and covered with liners warrantied to last decades, but they’re usually only used from six months to a few years at most.
What Makes Frac Pits More Challenging Than Other Fracking Ponds?
Hydraulic fracturing sites often have half a dozen or more unique types of ponds and pits in order to manage the various risks around the property.
Selecting the Right Liner Material for Frac Pits
Selecting the right liner material is important for every pond, impoundment, and other water-holding area.
Recycling and Treating Produced Water in Fracking
With millions of gallons of fresh water going into each hydraulic fracturing well, it’s no wonder that hundreds of thousands of gallons can come back out.
How to Keep Produced Water and Other Frac Byproducts from Affecting the Local Environment
It’s well-known that produced water, in particular, can have negative effects on the water and soil surrounding the oil field.
What are Frac Pits and Ponds?
The hydraulic fracturing work site is often full of various basins, pits, and ponds to hold fluids and other materials close to the active well pads.
Why Dikes and Bunds Aren’t Enough for Oil and Fuel Field Containment
If you’re looking at the cost of building multiple containment basins for your oil field, you may wonder why you need concrete or flexible polymer liners at all.
Who Mandates Containment for Fuel and Oil Fields?
When you first begin researching and planning for secondary containment on an oil field, it’s necessary to start at the top and work downward in terms of regulations.
What Does It Take to Properly Line an Oil and Fuel Field Containment Area?
Reading the EPA’s Spill Prevention, Control, and Countermeasure (SPCC) regulations is a good place to start when planning secondary containment for an oil field.
The Costs and Risks of Oil and Fuel Field Spills
Since there’s often a lower volume of storage and a greater focus on production on the oil field, many operators and owners wonder why they need to be so concerned with spills at all.
The Challenges of Containment at Oil and Fuel Fields
Every containment situation, even for a single 55-gallon drum of oil, comes with its own challenges.
Other Industries That Also Need Oil and Fuel Containment
Oil fields and refineries create some of the most challenging containment situations due to their scale and volume.
What Does the Future Hold For Hydraulic Fracking and Oil Containment?
Oil and natural gas in the United States is on the verge of transforming the world’s energy markets for a second time, further undercutting both Saudi Arabia and Russia.
What Are The Best Ways to Protect My Fracking Operation?
Our nation’s oil and gas industry has made immense technological strides in the last ten years, making the extraction of resources more efficient.
Hydraulic Fracking Q&A: Part I
As a leading producer of hydraulic fracking liners in the United States, our team fields a lot of questions around the industry.
Hydraulic Fracturing and Frac Tanks Support the American Economy
There’s no denying that fracking has upended the American energy system.
Do Frac Tanks Help the American Economy?
The implementation of hydraulic fracturing has significantly lowered energy prices while strengthening energy security.
What are Frac Tanks?
As technology employed by hydraulic fracturing advances, new water containment and flowback containment methods also rise in the fracking market.
What Locations do Hydraulic Fracturing and Frac Pad Liners Require?
With any strategy, there is the option to return to a well pad to drill more wells and continue extracting oil and gas.
What are the Major Differences Between Hydraulic Fracturing and Conventional Drilling?
While traditional drilling is only done vertically, hydraulic fracturing can expand from 100 to 2,000 feet horizontally in order to better capture oil and gas within each layer or zone that has been fractured.
All About Frac Pits: Understanding Primary Frac Pit Liners and Secondary Frac Pit Liners
In this article, we’ll delve a little deeper with our understanding of fracking by exploring frac pits as well as how to best line them.
Your Checklist to Selecting the Best Oil and Fuel Liners
State regulatory programs often include parameters such as liner requirements, maintenance, closure, and financial assurance requirements.
How Do I Choose the Best Oil and Fuel Liners? Understanding the EPA
The Environmental Protection Agency, or EPA, has a multitude of requirements in place in for the gas, oil, and mining industries.
Understanding Hydraulic Fracturing Basics: Safety First
Hydraulic fracturing, also referred to as “fracking,” is an oil and gas well development process. It has provided safe oil and natural gas extraction for over sixty years.
