dura-base™

OIL & GAS

Gallo Ground Support has been helping the oilfield industry get where they need to go for decades, providing customers with a superior, more environmentally friendly and innovative temporary method to access drill sites and staging operations. Drilling fluids in difficult terrain or sensitive locations can create major access challenges

With the ever increasing demand for oil and gas today, it is vitally important that companies have access to resources in all types of terrain - and also protect the environment from the potential hazards that come with extraction and pipeline maintenance.

The DURA-BASE™ Composite Mat System is the only matting solution used on every continent and is routinely purchased as an alternative to concrete blocks or wood board roads.

Besides rig access and support, DURA-BASE™ has also become important in the oilfield as the foundation of extremely effective spill management systems. A major feature of the matting system lies in the advance composite formulation used to make the mat. This construction assures that DURA-BASE™ will not absorb contaminants and are easily cleaned. The result is a design that oil and gas drillers find peferable to other methods.

In most rigging operations, efficiency is paramount. Drilling rigs are moving on 20-30 day cycles and there is little time for delays. The logistics for DURA-BASE™ are far superior to any other product in the market. The transport of DURA-BASE™ is usually THREE to FOUR times more efficient than other oilfield mat products. The reduced volume of truck loads (typically 45-50 mats per load) finds favour with local residents, and environmental agencies worldwide.
