HAZARDOUS WASTE SOLUTIONS
Oil and Gas
CHALLENGES FACING THE OIL & GAS INDUSTRY
- Significant legacy waste volumes due to lack of cost-effective industrial-scale domestic solutions.
- Hydraulic fracture techniques can result in large volumes of brine, salt and produced formation fluid.
- Ageing infrastructure requiring appropriate decommissioning
- Significant offshore and onshore oil and gas infrastructure coming online requiring appropriate, cost-effective, domestic solutions for hazardous waste management.
- “Chain of Responsibility” legislation is increasing additional company, director and employee liability.
- Australian Accounting Standards Board – Standard 137 (AASB 137) and International Accounting Standards Board – Standard 37 (IASB 37) accounting practices are now exposing the size of the waste problem in relation to contingent liabilities.
