Product Overview

Overview

Recover Energy provides innovative recycling services that reduce the environmental impact of oil drill cuttings. The company has patented a first-of-its-kind process to clean and recover base oil from oil-based drilling waste. This process also produces distillate fuel from the recycled waste.

Recover Energy's recycling services offer a sustainable solution to mitigate the oil industry's environmental footprint. Drill cuttings discarded as waste typically end up in landfills. By recycling this waste, Recover Energy diverts it from landfills and transforms it into usable oil and fuel products. This reduces both drilling waste and the continued extraction of finite resources.

Business Model

Interacts solely with the landfill facility, not directly with operators.

Technology Innovations

The key differentiator of Recover Energy is its patented-process enabling the removal of hydrocarbons (via solvent distillation) from drill cuttings and the subsequent generation of a recycled distillate fuel for reuse. The byproducts of the process are:

  • A clean solid phase, called Recover Dry™, which is suitable for reuse as stabilization material.

  • A low sulfur diesel, suitable for reuse as a drilling fluid, a low sulfur fuel oil, or a refinery feedstock for diesel production.

Recover's facility design is scalable to meet drilling demand in any area. The company also offers innovated transportation equipment to efficiently manage drill site logistics. Lastly, Recover has developed a proprietary waste management tracking database and HSE system to ensure the highest standards and experience for its customers.

Applications

Centralized processing facilities can be located anywhere near oil and gas plays.
