Environmental

    • For over a hundred years humans have been adding carbon to the atmosphere through the burning and refining of fossil fuels to provide energy, goods and services. This has increased human quality of life, but at a cost. It is now time to take inventory of our impact or face the resulting environmental consequences.
  •  
    • With the vision of emission-free geothermal energy production, our founder partnered with Middle East Technical University (METU) to create a Carbon Dioxide Reinjection system. This system allows for complete reinjection of CO2 and other greenhouse gases. Additionally, by reinjecting the gas, production from the field improved in our pilot plant.

    • Our Environmental focus in three areas sets us apart from Competitors in the following ways:
 CompetitorsMiddle East Well Services (ME-WS)
SolidsDig mud pits to store cutting wasteDry-location units fully dry cuttings. No mud pits needed.
LiquidsDump high temperature (95°C) wastewater to waterways500ton/hr Brine Cooling system. Water release doesn’t affect aquatic life.
GasesRelease CO2 and other greenhouse gases to atmospherePatented CO2 Reinjection system to make geothermal energy production emission-free.

Solids:

We have replaced the need for conventional pits which require heavy earthmoving equipment, liners which can tear and risk leaking toxic liquids into surface and groundwater, and the need to refill pits after use. Our Dry Location Units use a flocculation, centrifugation, and filtration system to cleanly dispose dried solids into a half-moon tank which can be neatly emptied

Liquids:

While other companies dump high temperature wastewater after geothermal energy extraction, ME-WS uses advanced cooling systems to release safe water back to the environment. Our method protects aquatic life from scalding wastewater.

Gases:

Geothermal energy production generally releases CO2 and other greenhouse gases. Through ME-WS patented NCG Reinjection system, we have achieved emission-free energy production. A special thanks goes to KARKEY and METU Petroleum and Natural Gas Engineering Department for their collaboration on the reinjection project.
