What R360 Environmental Solutions, LLC does

R360 Environmental Solutions, LLC is a US-based environmental services company that provides oilfield waste management to upstream oil and gas operators. Founded in July 2010 through the combination of five predecessor companies (U.S. Liquids of Louisiana, Controlled Recovery Inc., Calpet, R&G, and J.Scott) and acquired by Waste Connections (NYSE:WCN) in November 2012, R360 operates as the dedicated oilfield waste arm of the parent company's integrated waste management platform. Headquartered in The Woodlands, Texas, the company runs 20+ facilities strategically positioned across the Permian Basin, Eagle Ford, Louisiana, Wyoming, and Oklahoma, plus an emerging Canadian footprint.

R360's service portfolio spans the full E&P waste lifecycle: landfill disposal, land treatment, tank and equipment washouts, hydrocarbon thermal desorption recovery from drill cuttings, closed-loop drilling systems and waste collection, produced water and saltwater disposal, transportation/trucking (with 24/7 dispatch), and marine transfer stations supporting offshore Gulf of Mexico operations. Its most differentiated capability is permanent Recycled Oil Base (RBO) thermal processing, offered only by R360 in the Permian Basin and Eagle Ford basin, which converts oil-based mud waste into reusable feedstock for OBM or diesel dilution at the rig while reclaiming shale rock as landfill bulking agent.

R360 generates revenue through transaction-fee service contracts with E&P generators, with quote-based pricing and no publicly disclosed rates. Its go-to-market is direct enterprise field sales targeting major oil and gas generators, supported by a website, dedicated sales contacts (phone and email), and facility-level relationships. Customers are exclusively enterprise E&P operators, including a majority of the world's top oil and gas generators. Capital intensity is high given the owned facility network, trucking fleet, and specialized thermal processing equipment, but is materially de-risked by the financial backing of Waste Connections, the 2nd largest solid waste company in the United States.

Regional players

• Tervita Corporation: Canada-focused energy waste services company (now part of a broader combination) providing produced water, solids handling, and recycling for Western Canadian E&Ps—comparable business model with primarily Canadian footprint rather than US.
