minimizing our impact
We are committed to finding solutions that mitigate the environmental impact of our operations, minimize our footprint, and help our clients meet their environmental goals, without compromising the delivery of our exceptional client service. Priorities include reducing diesel consumption and water use, and mitigating the potential of spills.
2021 highlights
- Reduce diesel consumption and emissions:
- We helped clients displace 18.7 million liters of diesel with cleaner-burning natural gas using our dual-fuel pressure pumping fleet of equipment
- By using field gas for Canadian dual-fuel operations, our clients eliminated approximately 420 roundtrip truckloads of diesel that would have otherwise been transported to the job site
- Our Electric Powered Integrated Combo (EPIC) unit combines four pieces of equipment required for fracturing operations (hydration, blender, chem storage, and data van) into one unit; this unit, when used as a part of STEP-XPRS spread decreases fuel consumption and associated emissions by up to 30% compared to a conventional fracturing fleet
- Idle reduction technology has been incorporated into the Canadian fleet which reduces idle time, fuel consumption and associated emissions
- STEP designed super b-trains transport 11% more tonnes of proppant to job sites which reduces diesel consumption, minimizes footprint, and reduces the number of trucks on the road
- Helped client reduce their use of fresh water; 100% of STEP's fracturing fluid systems can use produced water and other types of non-fresh water
- Handled more than 11 million m3 of water with zero recordable spills
