(Energy Analytics Institute, Aaron Simonsky, 27.May.2019) — Argentina’s Environmental Crimes prosecutor Maximiliano Breide Obeid anticipates more samples will be taken from Treater’s oil waste plant located in Añelo in Argentina.
Treater recently released a statement that states results from the first samples taken by the prosecution showed normal values, reported online media Río Negro.
“All the parameters analyzed are below limits established by National Law related to hazardous waste and complementary provincial standards,” Treater said in the statement.
Sources from the prosecutor’s office assured online media Río Negro that the results weren’t definitive because counter-tests are needed to determine the analysis. However, dates for when new samples would be taken from the site haven’t been specified.
“We’re not an oil dump. We’re an environmental services company that treats waste from the oil industry. We comply with the law and all the requirements related to the activity we carry out” Treater said in its statement. “Our plant is in the heart of Vaca Muerta and we’ve accepted the challenge of the industry, for which we’ve made significant investment in technology and in a highly specialized human team.”
