Safety |
| Initiatives to Reduce LTI: |
- Incident investigations conducted on injuries, accidents, near misses or other incidents to define causes and corrective actions
- Pre-job safety meetings and Job Safety Analyses conducted before the start of operations to identify hazards associated with the job, jobsite, or other activities
- Internal HSE audits will be performed on mapped processes to determine compliance with hazard identification and risk analysis plans
- Assign safety coordinators at the location level
- DOT Compliance Reviews
- Safety Awareness Presentations by Management to all personnel
- Increased Field Presence and Location Audits by HSE Coordinators
- Increased Distribution of Safety and Technical Alerts
- Development of Field Safety Manual

The IPS Green Flowback process is an efficient process to separate, record and sell produced effluent constituents. This closed loop system beginning with the completion phase allows the well operator the advantage of hydrocarbon sales during this workover process.
|
How it Works |
- Temporary staged frac plugs are drilled via coiled tubing, snubbing or workover rig.
- Produced fluids and plug cuttings enter flowback system.
- Large solids are captured and removed from fluids.
- Produced fluids enter manifold and separator system for rate and pressure control.
- Sand particles are then captured and removed from produced fluids.
- Hydrocarbons are separated and directed to sales line.
- Hydrocarbons are sold during entire drilling process
|
Benefits of the IPS Green Flowback Process |
- Recognized by “Energy Star Program”
- No Flaring – No Venting
- Reduced Methane Emissions
- Environmentally Friendly
|
Able to sell Hydrocarbons during completion drillouts |
- Capture and remove large produced solids
- Capture and record produced hydrocarbons
- Comprehensive well testing to predict well and field productivity
|
Eliminates well shut-in time |
- Reduces debris fallback on top of BHA
- Reduces plugging of hydraulic manifold
- Reduces differential sticking of BHA
- Minimal or no formation damage
- Eliminate loading hole with kill fluid
