What We Do
Nopal was founded by a closely held group of investors in April 2006 for the purpose of developing a biological solution to E&P hydrocarbon based waste.
Nopal’s mission is to treat and clean contaminated environments, making the globe a cleaner and a greener place. Nopal has a large market opportunity with sustainable and scalable revenue potential across multiple industries.
Oil and gas companies operate in many countries around the world. Their exploration and production (E&P) operations generate many kinds of waste that must be carefully and appropriately managed. Some of these wastes are inherently part of the E&P process; examples are drilling wastes, tank bottoms, pit sludges, drilling muds and oily spills from spill clean as well as produced water.
In some host countries, mature environmental regulatory programs are in place that provide for various waste management options on the basis of the characteristics of the wastes and the environmental settings of the sites. In other countries, the waste management requirements and authorized options are stringent, even though the infrastructure to meet the requirements may not be available yet. In some cases, regulations and/or waste management infrastructure do not exist at all.
Companies operating in these countries can be confronted with limited and expensive waste management options. The Nopal Group’s technology (the Nopal Solution) provides a biological solution to the hydrocarbon problem via a unique combination of an all-natural formula of microorganisms and nutrients and a state-of-the-art soil process facility.
The Nopal Solution can efficiently and effectively meet any wide range E&P waste management expectations. All the way around, from oilfield to farmer field; from the South China Sea to the Cabinda Coast; for man, sea, and land, with The Nopal Solution we all win.
