Water containment, especially in areas where water is a scarce resource, is critical for horizontal fracking in the exploration and production of oil and gas. Whether it is for freshwater or recycled produced water, special containment systems referred to as pits or impoundments are built to manage the water. These impoundments are engineered systems featuring geosynthetic liners with leak protection. Geosynthetic lining materials are also used for reserve pits and secondary containment applications, while HDPE piping systems are used for the transportation of the water supporting production. Geosynthetic materials and HDPE piping systems are an integral part of the industry's infrastructure, thereby providing production and environmental benefits to the industry.
ESI and Patriot are experts in geosynthetic lining and HDPE piping systems for the above-mentioned applications. The combination of ESI and Patriot provide the oil and gas industry with unmatched material and installation expertise, an industry focused team to meet the dynamic requirements of the industry, and the necessary resources to serve the entire industry.
