REMEDIATION

FOCUS ON APPROACH

ICI remediation services enhance soil restoration following an unexpected oil or salt spill, ensuring your site meets compliance standards.

Both our in-situ and ex-situ bioremediation techniques for crude oil, other petroleum products, and soils impacted by salt water promote the decomposition of hydrocarbons and the reduction of high chloride levels to revive plant growth.

CASE STUDY: CRUDE OIL CLEAN UP IN SCURRY COUNTY

HOW A QUICK RESPONSE AND INNOVATIVE REMEDIATION KEPT AN OPERATOR IN COMPLIANCE

A client enlisted our services for a flowline blowout that resulted in the release of approximately 50 barrels of crude oil. The incident occurred at the top of a ravine, leading to oil entering a creek that connects to a significant waterway. ICI's prompt response allowed us to confine the spill to roughly 250 feet of the creek. We aided in the recovery of about 40 barrels of crude oil and effectively remediated the soil and water contamination in the creek. ICI employed proprietary products and cutting-edge specialized equipment to accomplish this task. The Texas Railroad Commission was engaged from start to finish. ICI collaborated with the client and the TRRC, providing daily reports and conducting on-site inspections throughout the operation. Our comprehensive 200+ page closure report documented each phase of the process, facilitating the TRRC's decision to successfully conclude the job.

CASE STUDY: CRUDE OIL CLEAN UP IN ECTOR COUNTY

HOW SUPERCHARGED REMEDIATION KEPT 65 CRITICAL WELLS IN OPERATION

The Texas Railroad Commission warned a leading oil producer about a potential halt in operations due to an untreated oil spill. In response, ICI employed advanced bioremediation methods to address the spill, ensuring the client could continue production. ICI used a proprietary eco-friendly treatment to decompose hydrocarbons and rejuvenate the soil, while performing soil analyses to track progress. ICI successfully brought the oil spill site up to TRRC standards with an efficient team, saving $6,000 and keeping 65 essential wells operational.

CASE STUDY: SALT WATER CLEAN UP IN SAN ANGELO AREA

HOW A QUICK RESPONSE SALVAGED A CLIENT RELATIONSHIP & REDUCED LIABILITY

A third-party service provider was at risk of losing a major client due to the accidental spillage of 50 barrels of brine water at a customer's site. ICI promptly addressed the produced water spill, lowering the soil's chloride levels from 4500 ppm to 336 ppm through an environmentally friendly method completed in only two treatments. Consequently, the soils affected by the saltwater spill were rehabilitated to compliant standards, promoting robust plant growth, and the service provider maintained their client relationship.

CASE STUDY: OIL SPILL REMEDIATION ON UNIVERSITY LANDS

HOW ENHANCED BIOREMEDIATION RESTORED SOILS IN WEST TEXAS

University lands adhere to stringent regulatory standards. Thus, when a petroleum spill happened at an institutional site in the Permian Basin, prompt action was crucial for compliance. ICI employed advanced bioremediation methods to accelerate soil restoration, breaking down petroleum into fundamental components and introducing beneficial microbes to the soil to rehabilitate the area. Compliance was achieved quickly with the soil not only meeting but surpassing regulatory cleanliness benchmarks and encouraging plant growth in the impacted zone.

CASE STUDY: DRILL CUTTING REMEDIATION SOUTH OF BIG SPRING

HOW ON-SITE TREATMENT MAKES FOR SMART USE OF RESOURCES

In the fall of 2015, a confidential oil and gas client sought the most efficient method to remediate liquid drill cuttings onsite. ICI conducted onsite testing of three distinct treatment blends to determine the most effective and cost-efficient option. Following confirmation of the optimal strategy by a third-party lab, ICI applied the treatment to the remaining drill cut material, verified compliance levels, and stored the treated soils onsite. This approach resulted in substantial savings for the client in both treatment products and transportation resources, while ensuring regulatory compliance.
