White Swan Environmental

What White Swan Environmental does

White Swan Environmental Ltd. is a privately owned Alberta-based waste management services company that operates three facilities — Conklin, Atmore West, and Atmore East — serving oil sands producers in the Athabasca Oil Sands region. The company was founded in 2014 and is headquartered in Red Deer, Alberta, with operations concentrated within the oil sands basin. Its core offering is high-volume processing, treatment, and disposal of oil sands production waste, including production waste, turn around waste, hydro-vac waste, drilling waste, and completion waste.

The company's infrastructure consists of class 1b injection facilities, waste caverns, vacuum truck receiving pads, and disposal wells. Atmore West is the largest facility with four disposal wells, one of the largest vacuum truck receiving pads in Alberta, and waste cavern capacity exceeding 3,000m3 of daily throughput. Conklin is positioned as a custom treating facility handling large turn around projects with 1,500m3+ daily capacity, while Atmore East provides 1,000m3 of daily disposal capacity as a stand-alone class 1b injection facility. Combined daily capacity exceeds 5,500m3. The company holds three Alberta WM permits (WM#197, WM#182, WM#202) and reports WRAP audit scores ranging from 89.06% to 93.59%.

White Swan generates revenue through usage-based fees tied to the volume (cubic meters) of waste processed and disposed. The company markets itself as offering the closest complete waste management facilities to the oil sands, reducing logistics costs for regional producers. Its customer base is concentrated among enterprise oil sands producers, with sales conducted through direct enterprise relationships coordinated via area dispatch lines and facility managers. The company has 11-50 employees and is led by founder-President & CEO Andrew Baumann, who has led the business since 2017, alongside VP of Finance Phil Porter.
