Given our strong experience and background in HSE management, we add significant value to our E&P; clients by leveraging and applying the HSE hierarchy of control philosophy in waste management guiding them to recognize that disposing of waste should not be the first line of defense for protecting the environment but rather that waste minimization and pollution prevention should dominate the strategy.

As we assist clients in developing both their short, medium and long term strategies towards waste management from E&P; activities we adopt the following steps:

• Source Reduction Avoiding waste generation, generating the least volume, or generating the least toxic waste possible.
• Recycling/Reuse Reclaiming useful constituents of a waste material or removing contaminants from a waste so that it can be reused. Also may involve the use of a waste as a substitute product for a commercial product.
• Treatment Any method, technique, or process that changes the physical, chemical, or biological character of a waste. (Note that treatment does not necessarily prevent the creation of pollutants.)
• Disposal The discharge, deposition, injection, dumping, spilling, leaking, or placing of any waste into or on land, water, or air.
