The client requested that Integrated Sustainability transform an existing borrow pit into a Lined Water Storage Pond/Water Hub in northeast British Columbia. The Pond will be used to store a combination of hydraulic fracturing fluid (flowback) and make-up source water, which could include saline groundwater, freshwater, or a combination of the two.
Flowback sampling and analysis for baseline characterization, norm management, and treatment recommendations for reuse. The sampling was performed to provide a baseline characterization of the N2-foam linear gel flowback waters and determine the required treatment process for flowback reuse.
The water treatment system will provide treatment of produced water generated from the client’s operations. The water treatment system will treat for total suspended solids, iron, hydrogen sulphide, and bacteria. Treated produced water will meet the client’s post-treatment requirements.
Prepare a sampling plan and conduct a compatibility analysis to assess feasibility of reusing hydraulic fracturing flowback for future completions.
Develop a comprehensive solution for reducing freshwater requirements, and both transportation and disposal costs via flowback water reuse.
The client had requested that Integrated Sustainability complete a Water Reuse Strategy Evaluation that provided a recommendation regarding a water treatment process and associated infrastructure including storage, treatment processes, and equipment.
Reduce the operational costs for trucking and disposal of frac flowback and produced water by reusing as much as possible during future completions.
Assessment of the environmental net effects of saline water use in the full lifecycle context of hydraulic fracturing operations.
The client sought to evaluate the technical and economic feasibility of reducing diesel use by transitioning to gas-electric powered frack programs.
Meeting the requirements for the BC Oil and Gas Commission’s Management of Saline Fluids for Hydraulic Fracturing Guideline.
Approval to construct and operate the first produced water and hydraulic fracture flowback storage pond in Alberta.
