Industrial
Oil and Gas Background

Oil and Gas
The oil and gas industry is at an environmental crossroad. Fuel sources that could not previously be extracted are being opened up by the adoption of new and innovative processes. Increasingly strict FDA regulations mandating the reuse of water, limiting the use of toxic chemicals and demanding the remediation of production flowback waters, are changing the landscape of the industry. These developments have become key priorities and, as a consequence, the landscape of the industry has irrevocably changed. 

GFS provides solutions for a variety of aspects, including: reactivation of capped oil wells, bioremediation of contaminated sites and oil spills, conserving production water, and camp and oil rig treatments.
GFS provides a comprehensive range of non-toxic environmentally sustainable solutions for the oil and gas industry. An integrated use of GFS products avoids the use of harsh biocides and reduces the spread of contagious diseases. 
Enzyme products:
GFS enzyme products breakdown heavy oils and unwanted wastes in an environmentally sustainable way. The products have the ability to remove the need for harsh toxic biocides to be used in the oil and gas industry.
 
GFS BioProtect™ MEOR MAX (MEOR):
MEOR is used in biocide remediation. MEOR allows for the reactivation of previously capped oil wells.
The MEOR is able to break the heavy tars away form the geological structure, removes heavy metals and converts the heavy tar to viscous pumpable commercial grade oil, which can be sent directly to their refineries.

The MEOR has the potential to seriously reduce the carbon footprint of all oil companies.
 
GFS BioProtect™ MEOR (MEOR):
Can be used in the clean up of mangroves, wetlands, beaches and protected waterways when oil spills have occurred. Because of the almost negligible toxicity and affinity with skin, wildlife contaminated by deadly oil sludge can be treated with MEOR to quickly and safely return them to their natural environment.









Conserving Production Water:
GFS offers a safe and natural way of treating water used in the oil and gas industry by using environmentally sustainable products return the water to a reusable level.
 
GFS BioProtect™ Effluent Remediator (BPER):
BPER is used in the oil and gas industry as a wastewater treatment for the flowback water. BPER will remove the heavy metals and toxic chemicals from water and immediately reduce unwanted odours. BPER biologically digests the organic wastes down into carbon dioxide leaving no toxic or hazardous wastes.
 
Camp and Oil Rig Treatment:
GFS offers antimicrobial treatments to reduce the spread of MRSA (Golden Staph) and Influenza “A”. this avoids the costly problem of rehabilitation and relocation of oil rig personnel to the mainland.
 
GFS BioProtect™ Hand Sanitiser (BPHS):
BPHS will eliminate not only bacteria, but also viruses and fungi that can cause ringworm and fungal nail infections.
 
GFS BioProtect™ Surface Spray Disinfectant – Hospital Grade (BPHG) (AUST L 184616):
BPHG can be fogged throughout a camp to provide long lasting protection against pathogens. Every surface and fabric receives a fine protective coating that will continue to kill germs for at least 28 days.
GFS Tailored Solution:
GFS specialise in working with the local professionals to return a site to its natural condition.
The bioremediation team includes experienced scientists and seasoned practitioners, who will evaluate the regional and situational idiosyncrasies of a spill site, develop remediation options, prepare specifications and execute the remediation process through to complete restoration.
 
Global Fodder Solutions:
GFS have developed containerised hydroponic food and fodder systems that can be delivered to grow fresh food at any site. Specifically suited for remote camps and rigs.
 
GFS AquaProtect™ Unit:
Modular water filtration and waste treatments for basic campsite facilities.
