"Innovative, Environmentally Friendly Solutions" At
Pantano Energy Services, we strive to resolve our customers'
environmental and safety
concerns through our rig design and drilling procedures.1) The industry is concerned about the footprint of drilling rigs. Our core drilling rigs are designed to have the smallest possible footprint, while maintaining a safe and efficient drilling rig. The footprint of our 300m rig is only 15m by 11m, meeting all EUB and industry regulations. Comparatively, this is half the size of most of our direct competition's rigs. All of our equipment will travel on 6m right-of-ways with no need to widen corners. We have a new design that allows a 600m rig to drill on the access road -- no lease required! Our equipment has the ability to service the core drilling market year round, reducing the amount of equipment and people required to complete a project and making the footprint smaller through decreased traffic and noise. 2) The industry needs to prevent fluid spills and leave a clean, contaminant-free location. The unique design of our rigs dramatically reduces the number of hydraulic and mud connections between pieces of equipment. Our pump is integrated into the same skid as the tank with permanent suction lines. Further, we have put catch trays and dumps where necessary to catch fluid with the vacuum unit. Our hydraulic oil is Petro-Canada's environmentally-friendly Environ AW. The system is designed to reduce the number of connections and therefore possible leaks. 3) Our customers and industry regulators are concerned about the compaction of muskeg and the disturbance of soil profiles. Pantano equipment is designed to have a ground pressure of less than 3psi. As well, our equipment travels slowly, reducing sheer forces in the soil. 4) Safety is a huge concern for all involved in a drilling operation. Our rig design will significantly reduce incidents by eliminating pinch points, automating pipe handling, keeping hands off the drill floor and by creating an ergonomic, easy-to-work-in environment.  Two
to
three of our rigs can do the work of ten standard core rigs in any
given year. The reduction in traffic alone will significantly
reduce
incident rates in the field. Our equipment also travels more
slowly
than conventional equipment, with top speeds of about 30km/hour,
creating safer roads.With year-round capabilities, we will attract and retain quality employees looking for a steady income and schedule (a rare opportunity in a seasonal industry). Combined with a first class training program, our crews will be among the safest and most efficient in the industry. 5) The winter season seems to be getting shorter and program costs are escalating. Our year-round service is priced competitively with the current seasonal market. Our ability to work year round will allow our clients to complete projects on schedule and "level load" project costs. We require minimal construction for access roads and leases. We can walk over small brush, snow, steep grades and water. Pantano will not require watering of roads to freeze them and will have far less impact to the environment. In turn, the savings from quicker site restoration (to the satisfaction of industry regulators) will be achieved for our customers.
