Emerging Containment Technology Supported by Brian Alfaro

Brian Alfaro, a business leader in the Texas oil and natural gas industry, is endorsing the spread of new smart containment technology. Fracking is a common and specialized form of energy extraction that is expected to spread in the Eagle Ford Shale in 2014.

With an increasing number of wells appearing in the Eagle Ford, Alfaro insists on smart energy production. Well-known for his commitment to eco-friendly technology, Alfaro encourages industry partners to take a step further and introduce new containment measures at fracking sites.

While Alfaro limits the use of chemicals to stay cost-effective and to protect the environment, fracking fluid should always be safely contained and disposed of according to government regulations.To ensure the safety of employees and the environment, Alfaro endorses the use of proppant storage filters, mats, and reinforced containment vessels.

Installing air filters on proppant storage equipment prevents dust clouds while maintaining a healthier work environment for oil field employees. Fracking fluid spills or leaks are also prevented through the use of reinforced mats and liners placed underneath trucks and pump areas. Containment vessels composed of several layers of reinforced, impermeable plastic also safely store fracking fluid awaiting safe disposal.

Installing extra safety precautions at drill sites will ensure that fracking is done safely while minimizing environmental harm. Brian Alfaro encourages the use of containment technology to foster clean energy extraction as America becomes more self-reliant in its energy production.
