What's New

By Jess Robertson 16 Jan, 2024
While the oil and gas industry continues to produce and fuel our economy, the pursuit of alternative energy sources continues to spark interest among Oil and Gas (O&G) companies. By looking at readily available resources already in place within the oil and gas structure, new ideas are emerging for how to maximize things like wastewater to bring even more efficiency to the table. Produced water from O&G wells has long posed problems for the oil and gas industry. Because it contains mineral salts, organic compounds, and heavy metals, disposing of it has proven challenging. In the past, a tiny percentage of wastewater has been used in various ways like fire control, power generation, equipment and vehicular washing, or even irrigating non-edible crops where the water is shown to be clear enough. However, most wastewater is either treated and reused for fracking in place of using fresh water, or it is disposed of in wells deep underground. But what if we could get more out of O&G wastewater? Now we can. And the potential has huge benefits not only for the O&G industry but for our nation as a whole. Lithium With the increasing demand for Lithium (Li), it’s hard not to wonder if and when the monopoly will begin in South American, China, and Australian Li recovery operations. Because they are some of the world’s biggest suppliers, places like North America and Europe are growing dependent on their production. Our dependency on lithium is due to its use in the energy-storage sector, not only in Li-ion batteries but also in its potential use in thermonuclear fusion. And let’s not forget smartphones and other electronics, or how it’s used in CO2 adsorbents that are used in submarines and aircraft. Because of its increasing value and consumption, the search for Lithium has spurred researchers to start looking in unexpected places and new innovative ways to recover Lithium in locations we had previously thought impossible. Like the oil and gas industry. Lithium in O&G Wastewater For years lithium has been known to be in water produced with crude oil and natural gas from underground reservoirs. On locations such as the Smackover Brine - a large limestone aquifer spanning Arkansas, Louisiana, Mississippi, and Alabama - Li extraction has proven fruitful and promising. The current method of extraction on locations such as this is evaporative ponds, harnessing roughly 209,000tpa (tonnes per annum) from the El Dorado , Southern Arkansas location alone. But evaporative ponds do have their downfall. The evaporation process is lengthy - taking a full year for the complete process - and Li levels must be highly concentrated in the water in order for this method to work. Thus, the oil and gas industry has been largely overlooked because the Li levels in wastewater from oil and gas are far less concentrated. Does that mean O&G wastewater as a source for Li is a non-starter? Innovators today say no. Here’s why. Absorbents and Membranes The problem with O&G wastewater is its lower levels of Li concentration and Li’s difficulty in being selectively recovered. But with shale plays in the Eagle Ford and Permian Basins in Texas generating millions of gallons of produced water every day, it’s imperative to look towards a ripe opportunity to glean such a valuable element. And emerging technologies may just have found a way to do that. Absorbents Commonly used in water purification and decontamination, ion-exchanged absorbents have long been utilized. But unlike other minerals and heavy metals, Li is much harder to selectively absorb. With O&G wastewater containing such high values of other elements, companies like Dow Chemical in the U.S. are approaching the problem from a new angle. By developing an aluminum-loaded resin, they were able to successfully select Li from brine water. In fact, several companies - FMC, Simbol, and Eramet - have seen the promise in aluminum-based absorbers and have their own patents. Similarly, other companies have infused a specific chemical compound that makes it highly selective for Li, separating it from sodium and potassium ions. These infused solvent resins have proved very promising in the Li recovery game. Membrane Another method currently underway utilizes membrane technology - and it’s already showing potential. What’s great about membrane technologies is their ability to be applied to wastewater that has a far lower concentration of Li, which is typical of most oil and gas wastewater. Furthermore, membrane technology can be utilized on a variety of wastewater and brines, and is less costly than absorbents, making it more versatile and alluring to the oil and gas industry. A recent test was done using this strategy, studying nano-filtration and low-pressure reverse osmosis to separate the Li-ion from wastewater brine. With favorable results, this method of extraction will undoubtedly continue to grow in practicality for Li extraction. In fact, our very own New Mexico Institute of Mining and Technology is actively developing new membrane systems specially designed for Li extraction as well. The Bottom Line  The Li demand is only increasing and O&G water may prove a part of the solution. With emerging technologies, existing O&G locations could be utilized to harvest Li while making more use of produced water. Shale plays across the U.S. have Li amounts to boast of, some comparable to known Li deposits. Tapping into this valuable resource not only enables the U.S. to be a bigger player and less dependent on other countries, but enables the O&G industry as a whole to be more resourceful, and more well-rounded in making the most of all the products that come with oil and gas, and help pave the way for more energy tomorrow.

Being a salesman in the oil and gas industry poses its fair share of competition. With a multitude of salesmen out fighting for the same client, it can be hard to stand out. When everyone is essentially selling the same product at varying prices, just how is it that some salesmen and companies seem to continually keep getting bid after bid? Just how do they do it? Is it better pricing? More expansive workspace? Or is it a matter of wining and dining the potential customer? Well for PESCO, it’s more than all of the above. For a grassroots company that has vastly expanded over the years, the basis still remains the same for how the company treats its own employees as well as how they approach sales: Relationships. The Difference When it comes to selling your company to a prospective client, there’s a lot of information to cover in a short amount of time. From your company’s values and products to their reputation and capabilities, you convey all that information in a way that stands out from the rest. So how do you do that effectively? While you could read off facts and statistics from a brochure coupled with your memorized sales pitch about your company - you run the risk of sounding just like everyone else. PESCO approaches sales differently - and it's working. 1. Get to Know the client And that’s not just a figure of speech. When PESCO salesmen meet with prospective clients, it’s not just about closing the deal. It’s about a genuine amount of time spent getting to know the client. What are their interests outside of work? What is their family life like? What do they value in their job and in their employees? What makes them proud of where they work? This effort to get to know customers isn’t just a tactic to be different. PESCO has established a company culture that these partnerships should be ongoing, spanning decades, and that people come before the product. Because when you actually get to know someone, it takes business negotiations and transforms them from transactions to actual conversations. It becomes an ongoing discussion that makes it more natural and easier to see where a need needs to be met. And when PESCO sees that need, they can step in and fill it. 2. Sell PESCO As a Whole It can be easy when selling a business to gravitate towards leaning heavily on one facet of the company. Maybe you hone in on the variety of products offered or the amount manufactured per year. But for PESCO, it’s a company sold as an entire package from the ground up. With a robust team of engineers and drafters, coupled with an expansive shop staffed with talented and hard-working individuals, it’s easy to showcase why PESCO produces superior quality - from the shop to the CEO’s office. Because so much is focused on employee care, PESCO functions with quality and integrity from the ground up. Because when everyone has pride in their work, everyone’s work is exceptional. 3. Capitalize on Customization. As with any industry, figuring out how to stand out from the competition is crucial for success - and PESCO has found their niche. While they are capable of manufacturing multitudes of standard units, customizing is where PESCO truly shines. From patented units designed in-house to taking units and refurbishing them to their full potential to creatively engineering around problems, PESCO has taken customization to a whole new level of efficiency. You see, when it comes to existing or new clients, PESCO isn’t worried about what’s in store. They know how to out-design the obstacles before them, giving them another opportunity to outshine the competition. Different = Better So even with heavy competition in the oil and gas industry, PESCO has learned how to make their mark. With a unique approach that follows their company standards of people first, they’re shaking up the industry with long-lasting partnerships that produce exceptional products for valued customers. They’re doing it differently - and different is definitely working.
