HOUSTON--(BUSINESS WIRE)--R360 Environmental Solutions®, Inc. announced today that it has been approved to receive and process exploration and production waste from the oil and gas industry in North Dakota.
“We are excited to bring environmental solutions to the oil and gas industry working in North Dakota’s Bakken shale play and Williston Basin,” said Manny Gonzalez, executive vice president, R360. “R360 is committed to working with our clients and state regulators to find the best solutions for oilfield waste.”
R360’s permit from the North Dakota Industrial Commission Oil and Gas Division will allow the use of a mobile waste treatment unit in a centralized location to the well sites to receive and process drilling fluids, drill cuttings and processed water for the landfill. The centralized mobile waste treatment center will cut down on the amount of waste treated at the well site and minimize transport to waste treatment centers that are further away.
“The benefits are reduced greenhouse gases associated with transport to remote treatment sites and minimized risk resulting from shorter trips,” Gonzalez said.
In addition to processing well site waste, R360 provides sustainable solutions for oil industry waste including R3 RoadBase™. This is an innovative recycled product for road building and repair used by E&P companies and by the Texas Department of Transportation. RoadBase allows operators to convert stockpiled, environmentally treated exploration and production waste material into quality road base.
