The “titan” of environmental solutions

Environmental protection continues to be a hot topic, and helping to manage and minimize potential environmental risks is at the heart of what Titan Environmental Containment does.

Founded in 2006 as a prairie-based business, Titan supplies, fabricates and installs high-quality geosynthetics, containment systems and specialty civil engineering products. Employing over 100 staff members, the company has become one of the fastest-growing in its field and has locations across Canada, including a location in Regina, Saskatchewan. Today, Titan is proudly known as a leader in product innovation and selection with expertise that customers can rely on to help them save money, reduce risk

and minimize their environmental impact. With product lines featuring geomembrane liners, geotextiles, geogrids, containment systems, drainage solutions and erosion and sediment control products, Titan’s geotechnical, containment and civil engineering solutions are used in a wide range of sectors such as road construction, water and waste management, mining, hydro-electric production, agriculture and oil and gas.

For example, one of Titan’s leading solutions for oil sector construction projects is their proprietary TE-BXC30 composite geogrid featuring a bi-axial polypropylene geogrid, heat bonded to a non-woven geotextile. This product’s robust reinforcement properties make it ideal for combined soil stabilization/reinforcement applications while providing enhanced sub-base drainage, as well as soil separation and filtration performance. TE-BXC30 composite geogrid reduces excavation, backfilling and aggregate thickness providing significant construction cost savings. This geogrid is highly recommended in the design of lease construction, well pad and oil platform access roads projects.

Additionally, Titan’s Specialty Containment line, which includes state-of-the-art secondary containment systems and custom fabricated TITAN TRAP drive-on spill containment berms, provides the necessary protection against soil contamination in the event of harmful oil leaks and spills on job sites. As a surrounding barrier to oil storage tanks on processing sites, Titan’s secondary containment systems exceed environmental guidelines, offering maximum protection and are designed to withstand harsh conditions. They have fewer parts than other systems for easier instal

lation and are low-maintenance. Major benefits to the Titan secondary containment systems are that they are easy to expand and contract, or dismantle to move, and they are adaptable to existing systems.

The TITAN TRAP drive-on spill containment berms offer the ideal solution for soil contamination protection from hazardous oil and gas spills during heavy equipment servicing on construction job sites. Made of textured scrim-reinforced LLDPE geomembrane, the TITAN TRAP is designed for durability to withstand rugged job site terrain and hearty climates. Fabricated using the latest heat fusion technology, each TITAN TRAP meets ASTM D-443 industry standards and undergoes destructive seam testing in our quality assurance lab to ensure optimal performance. They are customfabricated to size with turn-around time ranging from one to three days depending on order quantity. Various underlay options are also available which can help extend the berm life.

Last but not least, another solution that Titan offers to the oil sector is its prefabricated geomembrane panels that act as soil contamination protection when incorporated in site base layers applications. These prefabricated geomembrane panels are also ideal for secondary containment system lining. All panels are fabricated in-house to required dimensions with the highest quality control standards in the industry. They are available in a range of highly durable, chemical resistant materials and come folded and packaged for easy installation.

Aside from a commitment to quality, engrained in Titan’s business philosophy is also unparalleled safety standards and stringent environmental awareness. Titan is an ISNetworld Registered Contractor, a COR™ safety certified company, and its team of welding technicians are all certified through the Association of Geosynthetic Installers (IAGI).

With an understanding of industry needs that comes from extensive experience, a finger on the pulse of the latest technologies and the expertise to provide reliable and costeffective solutions, Titan prides itself on a high rate of repeat business earned by their in-depth knowledge and high service standards.

“As experts in our field we are routinely called upon for site-specific solutions,” says CEO Brett Burkard. “We get a lot

of phone calls asking for our advice on products for specific applications. We’re not engineers, but we are honest, practical, with a lot of experience and I attribute our successful track record to this.”

Having worked on projects across Canada and beyond, Titan Environmental Containment has the skills, experienced staff and industry awareness to tackle any challenge. Always remaining true to their guiding principles – trust, quality, value – Titan puts relationships and value for money at the forefront of all its business practices, which truly distinguishes the from the competition. Clients that do business with Titan get more than a supplier and installer – they get a solutions provider that puts customer needs first.

ONE CALL FOR ALL YOUR OIL FIELD NEEDS

Manitoba Scallion – Will a 12-barrel-per-day oil discovery lead to the next big Williston Play?

Tucked away in the far Northeast corner of the Williston Basin in Manitoba are the eroded subcrop edges of the Virden and Scallion Members of the Mississippian Lodgepole Formation.

In the Souris area, Major Oil & Gas Ltd. has made a 12-barrel-per-day discovery at 4-31-6-21W1, in the Scallion zone. This is the most updip oil discovery ever made in this region, possibly even the whole basin. Updip of this discovery are hundreds of square miles of undrilled territory. Talk about a red flag waving, with an invitation to oil explorers with the message that the oil is here – come and get it!

Manitoba already hosts a few vertical Scallion wells that have produced over a million barrels each in the Virden Field 40 miles away. The Scallion in the Souris area has characteristics that could lead to million barrel wells as well. Features such as 20 metres of 20 to 30 per cent rock, medium gravity oil, only 600 metres deep in an area with virtually no drilling make this enticing.

Obviously, much more work needs to be done to unlock the potential of the Scallion. Major Oil & Gas Ltd. is preparing to shoot a high-quality 3D program, which could be the key for breaking open the Scallion in the area.

As if the Scallion isn’t enough, Major has 2D seismic data that shows the oil-prone Virden Member is preserved on top of the Scallion in the area. In the adjacent Souris-Hartney Field the Virden has produced over two million barrels. Previously, industry believed that Souris-Hartney was the most updip remnant of Virden porosity, but this new data suggests an extension or outlier about the same size as SourisHartney may be found a couple miles updip.

The Virden and Scallion plays overlap so there is a chance to test two

Sayer Energy Advisorshas been engaged to assistMajor Oil & Gas Ltd.(“Major” or the “Company”) with the farmout or sale of its shallow oil prospects in the Souris area of southwestern Manitoba (the “Property”).

● Major is open to any and all transactions relating to the Property, including a seismic option, a farmout, a sale of the Property or the sale of the shares of the Company. ● AtSouris, Major has various interests (mainly 100%) in six sections of land which have been proven to be prospective for shallow (600 metres deep) medium gravity oil (30° API) production from dual targets in the Upper Virden and Scallion porosity zones within the Lodgepole

Formation. ● Offsetting the Company’s land at Souris is the Souris-Hartney Pool, which has produced in excess of two million bbl from the Upper Virden Zone to date. Aided by its proprietary 2D seismic, Major has mapped a significant Upper Virden oil prospect on its land at Souris, which sits at the most updip edge of the proven Upper Virden oil fairway approximately two miles updip of the Souris-Hartney Pool, setting up the potential to extend the fairway a significant distance to the northeast. ● In the Virden Field, which is located 40 miles northwest of Souris, a number of vertical oil wells have produced over a million barrels each from the Scallion Zone. The Scallion Zone in the Souris area has characteristics, including a potential reservoir with up to 20 metres of 20-30% porosity, that could lead to similar wells.

plays with one shallow vertical test. Major’s proposed 3D seismic is key to optimize the location to test both zones. If either zone comes in, it will lead to many years of development. This is especially true for the Scallion because nobody knows how far updip the oil has migrated.

In today’s competitive world, it is a rare opportunity to find an area that has so much potential that checks so many boxes. Shallow, conventional, medium gravity oil, friendly jurisdiction, minimal pipeline constraints, year-round access, unexplored updip area covering hundreds of square miles with no drilling, most land is open, leasable, freehold with no competition (for now).
