Oil & Gas Waste Disposal Services

Pinnergy's Oil & Gas Waste Disposal Division consists of some of the most experienced disposal well operators in the industry. The senior management team has been involved in the construction and operation of over 35 disposal wells. This division works directly with the Fluid Services Division, enabling the vacuum trucks and trailers to dispose of the produced saltwater at multiple company-owned locations.

The Company currently owns and operates numerous saltwater disposal wells permitted by the applicable state's regulatory agencies, and is actively adding more disposal sites in various geographic regions. The Company uses high performance electronic unloading systems enabling a 130 BBL truck to unload in approximately eight (8) minutes. The disposal wells use state-of-the-art pumps that maximize daily capacity, and contain an advanced screening system that filters the water before it is injected into the formations, preserving and prolonging the life of the wells.

Pinnergy has an electronic monitoring system that enables the monitoring of well pressures and other critical data from remote locations. The Company also has 24-hour control gated entry systems at all disposal well locations ensuring security of the wells.

About This Service

As mentioned under Fluid Services, salt water is produced as a by-product of oil-and-gas production and has to be disposed of on a continuous basis for the life of the well. The disposal of produced salt water, as well as other defined oil and gas wastes, is regulated by each state's regulatory agency. The most common disposal method is to inject the produced salt water and other oil and gas wastes into suitable, naturally occurring formations. These injection zones are required to be adequately isolated by relatively impermeable strata to confine the injected fluids to the permitted zone. Using permanent surface tanks to accumulate the oil and gas wastes and separate contaminants, a high pressure pump is used to inject the waste back into the permitted injection zone using the disposal well.
