Our Advantage

Transforming oilfield sites & Reclamation Timelines

An abandoned well site is a liability and is costing your oil & gas company; you need it to be compliant. But you're facing extended timelines—up to 10-13 years—to obtain your reclamation certificate. That’s because you have to deal with fragmented workflows, subcontractors, seasonal delays, and regulatory complexities. Oil & gas producers need a fully integrated earthworks and environmental consulting provider.

Terra-Sano’s approach to closure services cuts your timelines and budgets with all services—surface decommissioning, spill response, environmental assessment, remediation, reclamation, and revegetation—delivered in-house by a team strategically positioned across Alberta. With everything under one roof, we avoid scheduling and communication delays, and ensure compliance at every step. From the time we receive the well file to the issuance of the reclamation certificate, we cut your timeline to 2-3 years. We don’t get you there by cutting corners, though. We achieve this through continuity, accountability, and technical knowledge.  Beyond your immediate closure, we provide clear guidance on future phases, land stewardship, and regulatory expectations to keep your organization positioned for ongoing success.

If you are ready for a partner to help you move on from your abandoned site compliantly and faster, contact Terra-Sano today. Inquire

Earthworks, Reclamation & Remediation FAQs

Yes, absolutely. We frequently take over projects that have stalled or where there has been a single specialized contractor working on one phase.

We start by reviewing all previous work to understand exactly where things stand. We identify what's been completed, what still needs to happen, and where gaps may be preventing progress.

The advantage of Terra-Sano taking over mid-project is that we can handle all remaining phases in-house. 

If previous work was done properly, we'll build on it. If corners were cut or problems exist, we'll identify them upfront and explain what needs to be corrected to achieve successful site closure.

Portfolio management is one of Terra-Sano's core strengths. We develop multi-year programs that systematically advance sites toward closure rather than tackling them individually.

Our approach includes:

Strategic Planning: Understanding your entire portfolio and developing a program that advances sites based on your budget and timeline constraints.

Prioritization: Determining which sites to tackle first based on regulatory risk, cost-efficiency, and geographic clustering.

Activity Consolidation: When multiple sites/clients need similar work, we consolidate activities to minimize mobilization costs and capture economies of scale.

Ongoing Tracking: Your project manager maintains oversight of the entire portfolio, monitors progress, and coordinates all activities.

This is exactly what we do for clients managing multiple inactive wells.

We consider:

  • Which sites have the highest regulatory risk if they don't advance
  • Which sites that have migrating contamination or environmental risk need immediate action.
  • Which sites are located near each other are consolidated to minimize mobilization costs.
  • Which sites have landowners who are pushing for reclamation may need priority for relationship management.
  • Which sites you identify as important for asset divestiture, stakeholder visibility, or other business reasons.

You get a clear prioritization framework that ranks your sites and recommends a sequence for advancing them. This ensures you're allocating budget where it delivers the most value.

The first step is to reach out to Terra-Sano and have a conversation. This conversation is about understanding whether Terra-Sano is a good fit for your needs.

That initial conversation covers:

  • What you're dealing with (inactive wells, contamination, regulatory pressure)
  • What work typically needs to happen, and what regulations require
  • How our integrated approach works and how we can help
  • Realistic timelines and costs for your situation

If it makes sense to move forward, we will conduct a preliminary review of your sites and provide a detailed proposal outlining scope, timeline, and pricing. Once approved, work begins with a dedicated project manager coordinating everything through to reclamation certificates.

Terra-Sano reduces costs through integrated in-house capabilities, field-focused budget allocation, and strategic decision-making based on decades of industry experience.

Because we handle assessments, earthworks, remediation, and reclamation all in-house, you're not paying multiple contractors with multiple markups. 

Traditional approaches see only 31% of budget going to actual site restoration—the rest disappears into consultant fees and coordination overhead. Our integrated execution means significantly more budget is allocated to tangible fieldwork.

Our team has managed hundreds of sites across Alberta. That experience allows us to design cost-effective investigation strategies, select appropriate remediation approaches, sequence activities efficiently, and make quick field decisions without waiting for third-party contractors.

And when the industry average is 12 years to achieve reclamation certificates. Terra-Sano delivers in 2-3 years. When sites close in 2-3 years instead of 12, you're not just saving time, you're eliminating nearly a decade of costs that provide zero value toward closure.
