ACID TANK FAILURES ON
THE RISE AS OILFIELD
SERVICE DOWNTURN
CONTINUES
The extended downturn in the oilfield
service market is accelerating financial
losses for contractors competing for a
shrinking share of drilling and
completion dollars. Four years of low oil
prices, poor equipment utilization, and
declining day rates have contractors
looking for ways to stop the bleeding.
Cutting CAPEX, reducing headcount,
deferring maintenance, and keeping
equipment on the front lines beyond
recommended service life are practices
becoming more and more common for
contractors that operate maintenanceintensive
equipment such as acid tanks.
Acid tanks are expensive to operate
becasue they require continual
maintenance on the interior liner,
valves, and manifold. Delaying acid tank
maintenance is a dangerous way to save
money, and a recent increase in HCl
leaks and spills in Texas and Oklahoma
may be an unintended consequence of
contractor cost-cutting
So, the next time you rent an acid tank,
check maintenance records and spill
history for every tank you rent. Visually
inspect before filling them to verify they
are receiving adequate attention because
without proper maintenance,
inspection, and routine replacement of
components, the likelihood of having a
spill at your well site will surely increase.
