3 Peaks Environmental’s Post

Our qualified team at 3 Peaks Environmental can conduct Phase 1 and 2 Environmental Site Assessments (ESA), or Stage 1 and Stage 2 Preliminary Site Investigations (PSI) for industrial and commercial sites, real estate transactions, property redevelopment or rezoning, oil and gas sites and associated facilities, or as required by a lease agreement. Environmental drilling allows the 3 Peaks Environmental team to identify environmental issues associated with a site. This helps us gather information to determine not only what, if any, concerning substances are present on a site, but also to decide what the next steps should be going forward. >>>3peaksenvironmental.ca #siteinvestigation #environmentalconsulting #oilandgas #hireus #hirethebest

The Alberta Energy Regulator (AER) has released Bulletin 2024-15 OneStop Update: Remediation and Reclamation Submissions Now Linked to Asset  "Currently, submissions in OneStop for environmental site assessments, records of site condition, and other remediation and reclamation applications for an oil and gas asset are linked to the operator’s business associate identification (BA ID) and not to an asset. Effective with the June 26, 2024, OneStop update, the following submission types will be linked to an asset in OneStop and not the BA ID:  * phase 1 environmental site assessments * phase 2/3 environmental site assessments * records of site condition * reclamation certificate variances * reclamation certificate applications Following the change, when an asset is sold or transferred, the new operator can access submissions from the previous operator, saving time and money and reducing duplication of effort, preserving the history of site assessment, remediation, or reclamation work undertaken on the assets."

During Resources Week in the Northern Territory, our Environmental Regulation Division engaged with delegates from the Indonesian Government Ministry of Energy and Mineral Resources. This meeting provided an excellent opportunity to share insights on how we effectively regulate onshore petroleum while prioritising environmental protection. The Indonesian delegation expressed keen interest in our PACTT principles—Proportionate, Accountable, Consistent, Targeted, and Transparent. These principles guide our regulatory approach, particularly in high-risk sectors such as drilling, mining, and hydraulic fracturing. We discussed how our compliance priorities are communicated through public-facing compliance plans and report cards, reinforcing our commitment to transparency and accountability. We are proud of the level of openness we maintain regarding Environmental Management Plans assessed under the Petroleum Act. All decisions, environmental data, and compliance reports are accessible on our website and the Petroleum Onshore Information Northern Territory portal, fostering trust with the regulated community and Territorians alike. We are excited about the opportunities for continued collaboration and learning with our international partners as we navigate the complexities of environmental regulation.

𝗗𝗲𝗰𝗼𝗺𝗺𝗶𝘀𝘀𝗶𝗼𝗻𝗶𝗻𝗴 Decommissioning in the petroleum industry involves the safe and systematic retirement of oil and gas infrastructure, including wells, platforms, pipelines, and other associated facilities. This process is vital to ensure environmental protection, public safety, and compliance with regulatory requirements. #### Key Steps in the Decommissioning Process 1. **Planning and Regulatory Compliance** Effective decommissioning begins with comprehensive planning and adherence to regulatory frameworks. Companies must develop detailed decommissioning plans that outline the scope, methods, and timeline for the project. These plans are submitted to regulatory bodies for approval, ensuring all actions meet legal and environmental standards. 2. **Well Plugging and Abandonment** Wells must be securely plugged to prevent the escape of hydrocarbons. This involves: - **Cementing**: Placing cement plugs within the wellbore to isolate fluid zones and prevent fluid migration. - **Verification**: Using logging tools to confirm the integrity of the cement plugs. 3. **Facility and Infrastructure Removal** The removal of offshore platforms, subsea installations, and onshore facilities is a complex task. This includes: - **Dismantling and Transportation**: Cutting and lifting structures, followed by transportation to shore for recycling or disposal. - **Site Clearance**: Ensuring the seabed or land is cleared of all debris and contaminants. 4. **Environmental Remediation** Once physical structures are removed, the site undergoes remediation to restore it to its natural state or to meet the conditions stipulated by regulatory authorities. This can involve: - **Soil and Water Testing**: Assessing contamination levels and implementing cleanup measures. - **Habitat Restoration**: Replanting vegetation and restoring natural habitats affected by the infrastructure. 5. **Monitoring and Reporting** Post-decommissioning monitoring is essential to ensure the long-term stability of the site. Regular inspections and environmental assessments help identify any emerging issues, ensuring ongoing compliance and environmental protection.

Is New Energy canabilising Investments in Flares or Leakage detection?

This article talks about scars of the oil business which emphasize the need to address the entire oil extraction process before ever drilling rather than drilling into the ground anytime oil is found. According to the article, the EPA estimates that there are 117,000 abandoned oil and gas wells across the US which susceptible to pollution or leakage without a party to be held accountable for them. This number was surprisingly high to me and its even estimated by the EPA that wells which no longer producing oil or gas produce a total of 295,000 tons of methane. #pge301 https://lnkd.in/gRCWA3E7

How did a major operator in Norway save approximately $3.3M in one year with offshore wastewater disposal? 🌊⬇️ ✔️ Challenge: high volumes of wastewater (slop) were being generated on large, modern, closed-drain rigs ✔️ Solution: Halliburton recommended BaraH2O® slop unit, an engineered solution for point-of-origin waste treatment at the rig site ✔️ Result: saved the operator approximately $3.3M in net onshore treatment cost, sent 98% less volume of slop to shore for storage, treatment, and disposal, and treated a slop volume of 17,961 m3 offshore for a single rig Read the entire case study to learn how we provide efficient, cost-effective alternatives to treatment facilities.
