Frac Pits, Freshwater, & Produced Water Pond Liners
for the oil/gas exploration & production (E&P) industry
“Can Do” Starts at ESI!
Hydraulic fracturing and horizontal drilling has created an energy boom that hasn’t been seen in the United States for a hundred years. The technology has led to lower overall production costs and the opportunity to extract oil from areas that previously were not considerable commercially viable.
The fracking process however requires water, and lots of it, and the means for storage or containment. In a place like west Texas where water is scarce, water management, conservation and reuse is critical. Geosynthetic materials and systems are used to contain the waters used in the fracking process, thereby providing critical value to the industry.
In 2019, ESI acquired Patriot Environmental. With offices in Meeker, Oklahoma and Odessa, Texas, Patriot Environmental is a specialty contractor primarily serving the oil and gas industry in Texas and Oklahoma. The company provides and installs geosynthetic materials, erosion control materials, and secondary metal containment systems for a variety of applications. Patriot Environmental is an industry leader for the supply and installation of geosynthetic materials used to line pits and impoundments (frac waste, freshwater and produced water). Patriot also provides similar services to the industrial and agriculture markets in the region.
With the acquisition, the company provides dedicated resources and industry focus, with exceptional scale, to this important market.
