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 Beetaloo Basin, Australia
- Location: The Beetaloo Basin in Northern Territory, Australia
- Tank Size: 1 x 5900 m³, 2 x 6.3 ML, 1 x 7000 m³
- Liner Material: Double Lined with floating vented covers. LLDPE, with HydrEra Satellite monitored Leak Detection System
- Fluid: Frac water & Flowback storage for evaporation process
- Equipment: 80 ton crane, excavator
- Personnel: 8 men on tank erection crew in 3-5 day installation per tank
- Conditions: Ambient temperature of approximately 43°C/109°F, wind speed 10-30 km per hour/ 6-18 miles per hour
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.
