Oil exploration and production involves the generation of drilling residues, which might constitute a major source of pollution. Almost every process in the research for, and in the production of, oil and gas such as drilling, work-over and gas plant operations, generates several types of waste whose uncompliant disposal might lead to detrimental effects on the marine environment from oil cuttings and excess drilling fluids.
At HEC Group we can fully manage the main residue streams (such as drilling muds, residues, excess fluids and other drilling wastes) from both onshore and offshore drilling platforms, in accordance with the applicable rules and regulations, , as part of the implementation of a zero waste discharge policy.
Our Group supports the oil and gas industry by offering specialized solutions for the management, storage, and transportation of hydrocarbon exploration and production residues.
We undertake the safe and efficient management of residues through the following processes:
Collection and Transportation: Using specialized containers and vehicles for the collection and safe transport of residues from the drilling site to the processing facilities.
Storage: Temporary storage of residues in secure and certified facilities, ensuring there is no risk of leakage or environmental contamination.
Processing and Remediation: Using advanced technologies to process the waste, remove hazardous substances, and reuse or safely dispose of the materials.
Regulatory Compliance: Ensuring that all processes fully comply with national and international regulatory requirements for environmental protection.
With these practices, we contribute to the sustainable development of the oil and gas extraction industry while simultaneously protecting the environment
