Building upon a tradition of superior service developed by Randy Taylor over the last 30 years, the Fluid Services Division offers a wide array of fluid hauling and saltwater disposal capabilities. The Fluid Services management team consists of some of the most experienced individuals in the industry, many of whom have worked together for several years. With a large fleet of late model vacuum trucks and 130 BBL trailers, 500 BBL frac tanks and multiple saltwater disposal wells, the Company has the ability to transport oilfield fluids such as fresh water, saltwater, drilling mud and other oilfield related fluids in all of our geographic territories.
The fleet of vacuum trucks are manned by DOT certified drivers and maintained by trained mechanics in well-equipped shops. With dispatchers and supervisory personnel on duty around-the-clock, as well as onboard GPS systems within each truck, the Company is capable of providing unsurpassed service.
During the drilling, well completion, and production phases of an oil and or gas well, vacuum trucks are often needed to deliver or remove fluids. During the drilling process, additional fresh water and drilling fluids may be required and can be transported to the site by vacuum trucks. Drilling return fluids may also need to be hauled from the drill site. During the well completion/fractionation phase, large volumes of fresh water and completion fluids are used and are transported to the locations by vacuum trucks. Immediately after fractionation, water and other products used in the process flow back up the well bore and must be hauled away for proper disposal.
Produced salt water is a common by-product of oil or gas production and has to be separated and properly disposed of during the life of the well. Vacuum trucks usually haul this waste product from the well locations to a permitted disposal site.
Frac tanks, which are temporary storage tanks with wheels on one end for easy relocation, are often brought in to handle the temporary storage of liquids during the drilling and completion stages of the well. Each tank usually holds 500 barrels of fluid and the tanks can be connected by use of hoses to allow for larger storage applications.
