The Montney Formation is a renowned source of valuable oil and natural gas reserves. However, hydraulic fracturing operations require significant amounts of water, creating a pressing need for reliable flowback storage solutions. Managing flowback water, which contains various chemicals and natural substances, is a critical challenge in the industry. This particular project took place at two different field locations, transferring a total of 53,000 m³ of fluid, with the use of 6 pumping stations. We are proud to report zero incidents during the project.
At HydrEra, we take pride in delivering top-tier storage tanks and comprehensive flowback storage solutions to address these challenges. We successfully completed this project at two different field locations, transferring a total of 53,000 m³ of fluid using 6 pumping stations. We are pleased to report that the entire project was completed with zero incidents, a testament to our unwavering commitment to safety and excellence.
