Petro Waste Environmental opens landfills in Texas

San Antonio, Texas-based Petro Waste Environmental LP says it has officially opened its Deep Six and Big Lake landfills in the Permian Basin area of western Texas.

“With the opening of the Deep Six and Big Lake, Petro Waste is now strategically positioned to cover all four quadrants of the most active play in the United States,” says George Wommack, Petro Waste’s founder and CEO. “We now have more landfills in operation in the Permian Basin than any other oil and gas waste disposal company.”

The Deep Six Landfill, located on a 212-acre tract in Reeves County, Texas, will accept oil-based mud, water-based mud, oil-based drill cuttings, water-based drill cuttings, contaminated soil, and RCRA-exempt non-hazardous exploration and production (E&P) waste, and provides washouts and other ancillary services.

The landfill is operated by Petro Waste Environmental and co-owned in a joint venture with Trinity Environmental Services LLC of Austin, Texas. The landfill is adjacent to Trinity’s Deep Six saltwater disposal facility, which Trinity owns and operates separately.

The Big Lake landfill is located on a 245-acre tract in Reagan County, Texas. That facility is wholly owned and operated by Petro Waste. Funding for the Big Lake Landfill and Petro Waste’s share of the Deep Six Landfill is being provided by Petro Waste’s equity sponsor, Dallas-based Tailwater Capital.
