Application of geosynthetics in the oil and gas industry
The list of key structural elements of oil and gas facilities where geosynthetic materials can be used effectively is extensive:
- Field well pad sites;
- Tank farm containment areas;
- Sludge storage facilities;
- Main oil and gas pipelines;
- Industrial company roads;
- Temporary roads, access roads, and equipment stopping and parking areas;
- Storage and emergency containment tanks;
- Settling ponds used in the oil refining, chemical, metallurgical, and other industries;
- Hazardous and municipal solid waste landfills;
- Airfield sites at oil and gas fields;
The main functions of geosynthetics include waterproofing, reinforcement of the subgrades and slopes of sites and roads, erosion control, separation, drainage, and filtration.
