Yates Petroleum Corporation
Gillette, Wyoming – Produced Coal Bed Methane (CBM) Wastewater treatment systems.
Yates Petroleum Corporation is renowned as the largest land lease holder in the United States, primarily focusing on operations in Wyoming and New Mexico, where they specialize in extracting coal bed methane (CBM) gas. Their expertise in this field led to a significant development in 2007 when they entered into a Build Own & Operate (BOO) contract with SRI’s principal, who developed and piloted the CBM wastewater treatment for Yates Petroleum and then sold the technology and the contract to RG Global Lifestyle (RGBL). As part of the agreement, SRI sold the technology and contract to RGBL in exchange for a partial interest in the company.
Given SRI’s expertise, they took on the responsibility of designing, fabricating, and managing the construction of this state-of-the-art facility. It’s worth noting that the project started from scratch on a greenfield site, including the concrete pad, treatment building, two ponds, and a pump house. The facility was capable of treating 30,000 barrels (1,500,000 gallons) of wastewater per day.
An impressive accomplishment of SRI and its team was their ability to meet both the schedule and budget requirements set by Yates Petroleum. This demonstrates SRI’s strong project management skills and efficient execution throughout the construction process. By effectively coordinating the various elements of the project and ensuring timely completion, SRI played a crucial role in the successful realization of the CBM wastewater treatment facility.
Overall, this collaboration between Yates Petroleum Corporation, RGBL, and SRI showcases the integration of innovative technology, effective project management, and a commitment to meeting goals and objectives. The establishment of this advanced facility not only benefits the companies involved but also contributes to environmental sustainability by effectively managing the wastewater associated with CBM extraction.
