The Montney Formation, Alberta Canada
For this project in the Montney Formation, HydrEra operated in two separate field locations. A total of 53,000 m³ of fluid was transferred and 6 pumping stations were used.
The hydraulic fracturing process in the Beetaloo Basin produces a significant amount of flowback water containing a high concentration of chemicals, minerals, and other contaminants. Effective storage and management of this flowback water is crucial. At HydrEra, we understand the importance of high-quality storage tanks and comprehensive fluid management solutions for flowback storage.
To help our customers manage their flowback water, we set up four of our AST tanks during this project. The tanks were set up during night shifts as per the customer’s request due to extreme heat conditions of above 30°C/86°F. By adhering to our protocols and implementing robust preventive measures, we ensured a smooth and incident-free operation, providing our customers with peace of mind and confidence in our services.

During the Beetaloo Basin project, two of our ASTs were set up to hold and evaporate flowback. As per the customer’s request these tanks were set up during night shift due to extreme heat conditions.
For the Vaca Muerta Formation project, Our ASTs were set up on a HydrEra-supplied fully enclosed secondary containment. The tanks also included wildlife protection and leak detection systems.
Our newly designed HydrEra Harpoon tanks were used for the project in the DJ Basin. The Harpoon tank offers excellent head pressure and flow, eliminating the need for on site transfer pumps to provide fluid to the frac.
For this project we provided flowback storage on 7 different locations, pumping through underground and overland pipelines and truck offload stations. It was a complete field operation moving flowback to support the fracture operation.
