    • OILFIELD WASTE TRACKING

    PRINT BROCHURE

    Trek designs and maintains "Oilfield Waste Tracking" Databases, for clientele, to simplify the "Annual Oilfield Waste Disposition Reporting" process required under ERCB Directive 058 & ERCB Directive 030.

    The ERCB requires generators (licensee/approval holders) of oilfield waste, to track all oilfield wastes from the initial point of generation through to the point of final disposition (cradle to grave). All dangerous oilfield wastes (DOW) and those reportable oilfield wastes listed in Directive 058: Oilfield Waste Management Requirements for the Upstream Petroleum Industry, Table 9.1, Reportable Oilfield Wastes, must be included in the annual oilfield waste disposition report.

    At any time of the year, licensee/approval holders may be selected, by the ERCB, to submit the Annual Oilfield Waste Disposition Report (or a portion thereof) on the DDS.

    Oilfield Waste and Disposal or Treatment Details being tracked must include the following:

  • Licence Type: well, facility, pipeline
  • Licence Number
  • Waste Code
  • Waste Volume Adjustment
  • Waste Volume Units
  • Disposal or Treatment Method
