TexCom Expands E&P Waste Disposal Capability at M.B. Environmental Services Subsidiary
8:30a ET November 29, 2011 (Market Wire)
TexCom, Inc. (PINKSHEETS: TEXC), an environmental services company for the oil and gas industry, today announced that its M.B. Environmental Services (MBE) subsidiary has drilled and completed a second injection well at its oilfield waste disposal facilities in Chambers County, located halfway between Beaumont and Houston, Texas. Since 1998, this facility has operated a single injection well. Since then, MBE has responsibly processed and disposed of more than 14 million barrels of Non-hazardous Oilfield Waste (NOW) and Naturally Occurring Radioactive Material (NORM) by way of injection into the cap rock of an isolated salt dome.
Late last week, MBE completed the new Class II injection disposal well on the site, which is permitted by the Railroad Commission of Texas, the State agency that regulates the oil and gas industry, to process and dispose of NOW and NORM wastes. A second operating well at the facility adds redundant disposal capacity that will help ensure that operations are not disrupted if either of the two wells is taken out of service for remediation or reworking purposes. The Company also plans to construct additional truck offloading and waste processing areas at the site within the next several months, providing for MBE to more effectively manage and expedite a higher volume of vehicles hauling disposable wastes.
Lou Ross, Chairman, President and CEO of TexCom, noted, "This significant expansion initiative is expected to help positively impact trucking costs for our valued E&P customers by reducing unnecessary truck idling time while in queue. Moreover, these increased facilities at the site will notably enhance MBE's revenue generating potential as we continue to execute strategies to build TexCom into one of the nation's leading environmental services companies serving the oil and gas industry."
