In the middle of the downturn, many operators and oil and gas service industries are shrinking, but Milestone Environmental Services, LLC announced this week that it will expand.
Milestone has acquired an oilfield waste facility currently under construction near Smiley, in Gonzalez County, Texas through a newly-formed subsidiary with Intervale Capital.
Houston-based Milestone manages oilfield waste through their state-of-the-art disposal facilities. The company already has an extensive footprint in the Eagle Ford region that includes four injection locations, with two other locations in Katy and Jasper, Texas.
Acquisitions have become an attractive growth option for Milestone. Even in the middle of the downturn, the company believes that waste management in the oilfield is underserved. In a separate press release, the company announced plans to fund acquisitions throughout 2016.
