How to Make Your Oil And Gas Operations Safer with Rig and Wellhead Containment

The oil and gas industry is no stranger to spills. From catastrophic events to day-to-day drips, this field faces extreme scrutiny, especially when it comes to environmental regulations. But did you know that ensuring complete site containment is easier than you might think? With a couple of simple products from Enviro-Pads, you can ensure that your pipeline project, refinery, or drilling rig is protected at every turn.

Why is Spill Containment Important for Oil and Gas Industries?

Here’s the truth: consistent and proper spill containment is crucial. Generally speaking, mining, drilling, and other crude oil operations are subject to strict guidelines from regulatory bodies like Alberta Environment and the Fire Code of Alberta. This means that you’ll face hefty fines if your site doesn’t have the proper systems in place. Additionally, if you or your operation is committed to doing your part in protecting the environment and fighting climate change, products like rig containment and wellhead containment are easy ways to integrate consistent protection into your daily operations. Let’s discuss how these systems work in the next section.

Using a Wellhead Containment System

Modular wellhead containment solutions seal around the wellhead to trap leaks and drips that would otherwise reach soil or groundwater. While they are limited in containing blowouts, these systems capture leaks or drips that occur on a day-to-day basis when pulling or tripping pipe. Key features include:

• Interlocking steel or aluminum pads in various widths and heights.
• Easy two-piece installation.
• Fluid capacity from 336 to 1,152 US gallons per pad.
• Surface loading rating of up to 30 tonnes per pad.
• Forklift tubes and lifting eyes for fast setup and relocation.
• Connection hoses for complete fluid volume storage.

Add Rig Containment for Complete Protection

A rig containment system extends the same protection of our wellhead system to your entire rig. These portable, modular pads support heavy work-over units and capture drilling fluids, oils, and wash water before they reach the ground. These systems are extremely easy to set up and are a useful and easy alternative to rig mats. Benefits include:

• 30-ton surface load ratings per pad
• Non-slip grating for safe operations
• Engineer certified

When you combine our wellhead and rig containment systems, your site benefits from secondary containment you can count on and complete regulatory compliance. Learn more: Choose Enviro-Pads for Your Rig Containment Systems
