Protecting the environment is one of the top priorities for the oil and gas industry. Procedures are written to ensure leaks and spills don’t happen, and contingency plans are put in place and practiced the minimize the effects should the unlikely event of a spill occur.
The cleanup process for a spill can, in some cases, cost more than the project itself. And we’re not just talking about oil and other hydrocarbons, saltwater contamination can be just as devastating to an ecosystem.
This episode of Red Wing’s Oil and Gas HSE Podcast focuses on the remediation methods used to return spill sites back to their original condition.
Russell Stewart of Environmental Recovery: Oilfield Services & Consulting does a deep dive into the science behind saltwater remediation and how his company not only protects the environment but the reputation of the oil and gas industry as a whole.
