Drilling Technology

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.

Benefits

Nopal intends to exploit its unique combination of biological formula and start-of-the-art processing facility as best available technology worldwide.

In conjunction with its compliance of stringent regulatory criteria, Nopal also considers bioremediation technology the best available technology from the combined standpoint relative to efficiency, economical, and environmental conscious process of disposing or recycling oil & gas waste – whether the waste is generated onshore, from an offshore drill rig, or a disposal pit area.

When comparing the Nopal Solution to the available disposal technologies, Nopal’s performance characteristics are more favorable in terms of the following:

Cost

The operation of the Nopal’s state-of-the-art facility is often more cost effective as the process requires minimal labor compared to timely land remedies and offshore remedies where expensive transportation costs from offshore operations to onshore remedies is highly common and encouraged due to political and regulatory concerns.

Environmental Impact

The Nopal Solution eliminates the potential environmental problems associated with contamination of the water table associated with injection wells. Nor is waste sent to third-party commercial or municipal landfills, nor is it commingled with third-party wastes.

The Nopal Solution does not generate hazardous emissions of any kind.

Efficiency

The  Nopal state-of-the-art facility processes the waste at a rate of 55 tons per hour compared to alternative land treatment techniques where the soil’s microbes process the waste in situ (a form of bioremediation) which can require years to be effective.
