Understanding the needs of our clients and developing a technical approach to best serve both the short and longer term business interests of our clients is our primary focus. Key Epic personnel are OSHA, First Aid, CPR, H2S Alive, WHMIS, TDG and Ground Disturbance trained. All on-site persons are equipped with the latest in Personal Protection Equipment, including personnel safety gas monitors. The vehicles used by Epic are equipped with cellular phones, 20lb ABC fire extinguishers and first aid supplies. Work safety is a primary focus of Epic with a history of no on-site incidents during it’s existence. The following provides details of some of the services provided by Epic. Wellsite Abandonments Epic can provide expert professional supervision of gas plant, oil and gas wells and battery site abandonments. These services include: wellhead gas migration testing and reporting site assessments, soil and groundwater evaluation preparation of plan for abandonment supervision of remedial and abandonment procedures with accurate daily cost tracking preparation of post-abandonment report and negotiation and acquisition of landowner release on abandonment property. Wellhead Gas Migration Testing Part of the required oil and gas well abandonment process in Saskatchewan is the testing for potential gas migration around wellheads prior to the cut and capping process. Epic is trained and equipped to provide prompt, accurate and cost effective assessments, along with detailed reporting to the Saskatchewan Industry and Resources. Flarepit Abandonments Epic can assess and supervise in the decommissioning of old flarepits. In the past Epic staff has successfully assisted in abandoning flare pits varying from a few hundred to several thousand metric tonnes of hydrocarbon and salt contaminated soils. Remediating contaminated flare pits by landfarming has proven cost effective on operating battery sites. Epic has experience in designing and supervising the construction and management of these landfarms and leachate collection systems. Supervision of excavation and haulage of contaminated material to a licensed disposal facility is another widely chosen option. Oil & Saltwater Spills One of Epic's expertise involves the assessment and remedial supervision of salt and oil spills. Professional soil sampling and “initial response” handling services gives accurate analytical assessment of spill sites. Reclamation plans and supervision of the projects can then be provided. Various soil amendments and spill clean up products are kept in stock. Waste Management Epic provides on-site drilling, fluid and cuttings sampling and analysis. Epic technicians are equipped and trained for accurate sampling and analysis as per government requirements. The addition of hydrocarbon test kits provides companies with accurate and prompt analysis so disposal options can be assessed in a more timely fashion. Landspreading Epic supplies experienced professional technical service to analyze and supervise various drilling waste disposal methods including on and off-site disposal and landspreading while drilling (LWD). Landspreading while drilling of spent drilling fluids has proven a convenient method of disposal in sensitive and other areas where pits are not wanted or allowed. LWD allows a quick clean up of an oil or gas well site eliminating the "open pit" problems. Domestic Water Well Tests The testing of domestic water wells is a service provided by Epic staff. Aquifer drawdown and recharge provides valuable information to assess potential impact from seismic and oil & gas drilling operations. On-site water sampling and proper packaging for laboratory analysis gives clients accurate results for later reference if required. Environmental Assessments Cost effective pre and post drilling site assessments are provided to clients by Epic staff. These assessments give a detailed preliminary soil, plant type and heritage resource view of the site prior to and after the site is developed. Field technicians are also familiar with the operation of the oil and gas field equipment, so both environmental and safety issues can be addressed in the assessments. Phase I and II assessments can also be provided on existing Oil & Gas and Commercial properties. Environmental Construction Plans & Project Monitoring Epic staff has been involved in the preparation and implementation of many environmentally sound construction plans in South East Saskatchewan and South West Manitoba for various clients. We have monitored and supervised these projects to ensure compliance with stated mitigative measures and accepted regulations. Epic personnel are experienced professionals whose objective is to provide a workable plan and end product which not only protects the sensitive environment but is also attainable in the upstream oil industry. Epic also take pride in our abilities to relate well with regulatory offices, both locally and regionally, as well as provide direction to contractors on the job. Services include: assisting surveyors in proper site and access route selection preparation and submission of Saskatchewan Environment’s required paper work. site assessment and report submission to regulatory agencies. supervision and monitoring of project as-built report preparation and submission Electro-Magnetic (EM) Surveys Epic has evolved their services with the introduction of geophysics to address the needs of their clients. EM Surveys are a proven way to characterize soils and delineate contamination plumes, while still being a non-invasive/non-destructive sampling method. EM Survey applications include poor growth assessments, historic and recent spill sites, plume tracking, pre-drill site assessments, and final site abandonment. We offer the EM38 geophysical instrument which has an effective sensing depth of approximately 1.5 meters. Our equipment can be either hand held for close quarters or more commonly, attached to a four wheel all terrain vehicle (ATV) to cover larger areas. A differential global positioning system (DGPS) provides high location accuracy with each EM reading. Highly detailed geophysical maps are produced by specialized software and the collected sampling data. Our reporting methods are straightforward and the EM maps make it easy to visualize subsoil conditions. The benefits from EM surveys are vast and are an extremely cost effective aid for environmental problem solving. Monitoring Well Installations Monitoring wells have proven to be valuable assessment tools for the oil and gas industry to assess groundwater impact from contaminated sites. Epic provides professional experience for monitor well installation, sampling and analysis requirements.
