The oil and gas industry discards nearly $4 billion worth of diesel and synthetic base oils each year, trapped in drill cuttings. Austere’s technology recovers 99.99% of the base oil directly on-site at the rig and returns it to the operator. This innovation reduces pad traffic from diesel trucks by approximately 40%, reduces base oil expenses to operators, eliminates the need to purchase drill cutting fillers, and significantly lowers the environmental liability for upstream operators.
