Reclaiming well pads, pipelines, and lease roads across the field.
From spud to surface reclamation, KerTec restores land disturbed by drilling and midstream construction matched to the compacted.
The Challenge
Well pads and rights-of-way present a
distinct set ofrestoration challenges.
01
Well Pad & Pipeline Disturbance
Drilling pads, access roads, and
pipeline rights-of-way strip vegetation
and expose bare soil across large,
often irregular footprints.
02
Compacted, Saline Soils
Heavy equipment traffic and
produced-water exposure can
compact and salt soils, making
standard seed mixes and mulches
ineffective.
03
Surface Reclamation Requirements
Operators need documented,
defensible reclamation work to satisfy
landowner agreements and regulatory
closure requirements.
Our Approach
How KerTec Serve oil & gasIndustry.
We draw on the same services used across every KerTec project, applied to the specific demands of the field:
01
Erosion Control
Stabilizing disturbed pad edges, access roads, and pipeline corridors to prevent runoff and topsoil loss before revegetation begins.
02
Revegetation
Native seed mixes selected for compacted and saline soils, matched to the surrounding rangeland so restored areas blend back into the landscape.
03
SWPPP Compliance
Installation, inspection, and reporting on stormwater controls throughout construction and post-construction phases.
04
Consulting
Site-specific reclamation planning that accounts for lease terms, landowner expectations, and regional regulatory standards.

The KerTec Difference
Why operators work with KerTec.
Field-tested in West Texas conditions
Decades of combined experience working the caliche and rangeland soils common across regional oil and gas leases.
Crews that travel to the site
KerTec mobilizes to well pads and lease roads wherever the project is located, not just near our home base.
One point of contact, start to finish
From initial consulting through final revegetation sign-off, a single KerTec team manages the project.
Documentation built for compliance
Clear records of erosion control and SWPPP work to support landowner and regulatory reporting requirements.
