“Well cleanouts using air is one operation that is directly affected by ERCB Directive 033. ADL Oilfield Services has developed an effective procedure for ‘Conducting Air-Assisted Well Cleanouts Using Stable Foam’. The purpose of the report is to provide ADL clients with the results of a safety assessment of ADL’s operations and provide assurances that the services provided by ADL are a safe, compliant alternative to higher-cost operations using nitrogen.”

At ADL, safety is an active practice of established structured processes. Beyond the safety of the procedures we have developed for the application of our Stable Foam, ADL has earned a sterling reputation as a result of our impeccable safety record over the years.
Safety is incorporated into the working fabric of every job within every project. ADL project managers ensure everything from equipment logistics to material handling protocols are strictly established and followed by ADL field technicians while being overseen by ADL field supervision.
Safety certification for all field staff is an absolute requirement before ADL technicians are allowed to work in the field. Applied training programs go beyond review of written text, incorporating visual images, videos and demonstrative dry runs before the technician is considered “trained” – beyond their proven field experience that all team members bring to the table. However, ADL does not stop there; technicians, supervisors and project managers are required to refresh skill sets to retain safety practice competence and to stay current with new safety technology.
Work procedures are institutionalized as standard operating procedures embedded right into our electronic project management software. Every step of a job assessment, interpretation, design, planning, execution and completion are structured for repeatable quality job after job.
Safe work practices will allow for cost efficient ADL operation and also shield the client from potential work site liabilities so common with other traditional well stimulation methods. Rest assured, ADL will work safe and work effectively at your well sites.
