Oil and gas drilling sites can be some of the most challenging environments for both the equipment in use and the operators who run them. It is critical to run a well as efficiently as possible and to reduce Environmental, Health and Safety (EH&S) risks to the greatest extent possible. There are many elements that can adversely affect a pump's operations and the quality of oil and gas produced, both of which have direct impacts on the profitability of an operation. Products exist in the market today that attempt to address such challenges, though often times they can be costly and add to EH&S risk factors due to the nature of the products.

EcoRidge supplies products that address some of the most challenging elements at drill sites more effectively, simply, safely, and at lower cost.

A particularly challenging problem at drill sites is bacteria; they make Hydrogen Sulfide (H2S) and create biofilms. H2S is a significant problem for producers as it is poisonous, it can corrode the precious metals in wells and surface equipment, and is a product contaminant which needs to be removed but is currently difficult and expensive to do so with products that pose their own EH&S hazards. Ever growing biofilms are also problematic due to their corrosive nature and adverse impact on productivity as they increase system pressure requirements and decrease line throughputs.

Historically, dealing with bacteria and the H2S they produce has been a arduous battle for well operators. Current remediation products present their own challenges; they are toxic liquids that require HAZMAT to transport and use. Moreover, due to the nature of their mechanism, bacteria are often able to develop an immunity to them over time making the effectiveness of such products dubious across different locations and times.

EcoRidge products are shipped as a dry powder and have a neutral pH. This eliminates HAZMAT requirements and dramatically reduces the cost of shipping and use. It also makes them much safer to use, and gentler on equipment and the environment.
