Maintaining pipeline infrastructure is about more than just the steel in the ground – it also involves managing the environment around the pipeline. Overgrown vegetation or blocked access along a pipeline right-of-way (ROW) can hinder inspections, delay repairs, and even pose safety risks. A clear, unobstructed ROW “enables operators to safely operate, patrol, inspect, maintain, and repair their pipelines”. Recognizing this, ProTorque Energy Midstream (PTEM) has expanded its pipeline maintenance capabilities to include dedicated ROW clearing and mowing crews. By integrating vegetation management with traditional pipeline maintenance, PTEM helps midstream operators improve compliance, reliability, and efficiency across their pipeline systems – especially in active regions like the Permian Basin where extensive gathering networks require vigilant upkeep.

Comprehensive Pipeline Maintenance Services

ProTorque’s midstream team delivers end-to-end pipeline maintenance, now bolstered by our in-house mowing crews. We handle routine and remedial tasks such as pipeline repairs, integrity digs, hot tapping live lines, and corrosion mitigation, as well as right-of-way upkeep and site restoration. Key offerings under our pipeline maintenance portfolio include general oilfield maintenance, pipeline repairs and rehabilitation on existing lines, integrity digs, and even specialized services like hot taps on lines up to 30” and certified welding for high-pressure pipelines. The addition of ROW clearing and mowing to this list means PTEM can ensure the pipeline corridor is as well-maintained as the pipeline itself. Our crews are equipped to clear brush, mow vegetation, and remove obstructions along pipeline routes, working safely around pipeline markers and facilities.

By covering this full scope internally, PTEM serves as a one-stop solution for pipeline operators. Instead of coordinating separate contractors for excavation, welding, and mowing, clients can rely on a single, accountable partner. This integrated approach not only streamlines logistics but also tends to reduce overall maintenance timelines and costs. For example, our team can schedule vegetation clearing in tandem with pipeline repair work or inspections, so that access is assured when maintenance crews arrive – preventing delays. Moreover, handling ROW maintenance in-house provides margin expansion opportunities that allow us to invest further in training and equipment, ultimately enhancing service quality and value for our customers.

Right-of-Way Clearing: Safety, Compliance, and Reliability

Keeping pipeline rights-of-way clear is critical to safe and compliant operations. Tall grass, brush, or trees along a pipeline can conceal potential problems and impede emergency response. By regularly mowing and clearing the ROW, ProTorque ensures pipelines remain visible and accessible. This has several concrete benefits:

• Enhanced Safety & Reliability: Clearing the ROW improves access for maintenance and emergency crews. In the event of a leak or other incident, responders can reach the pipeline quickly without battling dense vegetation. With clear access, routine maintenance and repairs can be performed in a safe and efficient manner, and that it’s not possible to expeditiously clear trees during an emergency – underscoring the importance of keeping the corridor clear ahead of time. A well-maintained ROW also reduces the risk of pipeline damage from root intrusion or concealed third-party activity. In fact, an unobstructed line of sight to pipeline markers helps deter unauthorized digging – vital given that third-party “hits” are the number one cause of pipeline damage in the United States. By mowing and removing encroaching vegetation or debris, we protect the pipeline’s integrity and the surrounding community.
  
  
• Regulatory Compliance: U.S. pipeline safety regulations require operators to routinely patrol and inspect their lines, which is only feasible if the ROW is maintained. Federal guidelines explicitly mandate regular patrols “within an appropriately cleared right-of-way”, and a clear ROW enables safer overflights for leak detection as well as effective on-foot inspections. Vegetation management is thus not just best practice but often a compliance necessity. Our mowing crews help clients meet PHMSA and state requirements by keeping the corridor clear for these inspections and surveys. By entrusting PTEM with ROW upkeep, operators can be confident they are always “inspection-ready” and adhering to the standards that prevent fines or shutdowns.
  
  
• Efficient Operations & Scheduling: Integrating mowing with pipeline maintenance improves overall operational efficiency. We plan ROW clearing as a proactive maintenance task, which helps avoid last-minute scrambles to cut overgrowth before an inspection or repair job. The result is better schedule adherence – pipeline surveys and repairs can occur on time, without waiting on a separate vegetation crew. This coordinated approach also means fewer site visits and mobilizations; a single PTEM crew can perform multiple maintenance activities in one trip, saving downtime and reducing disruption to landowners. Ultimately, a well-kept ROW keeps the pipeline in plain sight and running smoothly, supporting consistent throughput and minimizing unexpected outages.
  
  

Delivering Value Through Integrated Field Services

By expanding our pipeline maintenance program to include ROW clearing and mowing, ProTorque Energy Midstream offers more holistic support to pipeline operators.

Every day, ProTorque’s fleet vehicles traverse highways and remote oilfield roads to serve our clients. Along the way, one thing remains critical: safety. That’s why ProTorque has outfitted its entire fleet with advanced in-vehicle safety camera systems. These aren’t just ordinary dash cams – they’re AI-enabled and actively monitor, coach, and protect our drivers in real time. By leveraging this technology, we strengthen our safety culture and ensure accountability on every journey, demonstrating that nothing is left to chance when it comes to safety.

Safety Cameras: A Coach in Every Cab

A dual-facing safety camera mounted in a ProTorque truck continuously watches the road and the driver, acting as a vigilant coach. ProTorque’s camera setup includes forward-facing lenses to capture the road and inward-facing cameras to observe the driver’s alertness. The system uses smart AI to detect risky behaviors – like hard braking, sudden swerves, tailgating, or fatigue – and it can warn the driver immediately. In effect, the camera acts like a coach in the cab, giving instant feedback to help drivers self-correct and drive more safely. For example, if a driver starts to drift out of their lane or shows drowsiness, an audible alert will sound so they can refocus or take a break. All incidents and near-misses are recorded on video, providing a clear record of what happened. Importantly, that footage isn’t used to “spy” – it’s used to coach. Our safety team reviews events to praise good performance or to work on improvements in a constructive way.

From the start, we’ve been clear that these cameras exist to support our drivers, not to nitpick. Industry experience shows that transparent communication about dash cams is crucial to driver acceptance. ProTorque drivers appreciate the cameras as a safeguard. They know that if something goes wrong on the road, the video can prove what really happened. This peace of mind turns the camera into a trusted ally rather than a source of stress.

Benefits for a Safer Fleet Culture

Our in-cab cameras have delivered several benefits that boost safety and strengthen our fleet’s culture:

• Fewer Incidents: A key benefit is fewer accidents and close calls. Fleets using video monitoring have reported significant safety improvements – one analysis noted up to a 60% decrease in crashes after adopting dash cams. We’ve already seen drivers avoid hazards they might have missed, thanks to the cameras’ real-time alerts. Fewer incidents mean our drivers stay safe and our trucks stay on the road – a win for everyone.

• Accountability and Fairness: Knowing they’re on camera encourages our drivers to follow best practices, and the video provides an objective account if there’s a dispute. If a driver isn’t at fault, we can prove it and protect them. Dash cam footage serves as evidence of who’s at fault and protects our drivers’ reputations.

• Better Coaching and Training: The cameras have turned driving into a daily learning opportunity. We use real video clips (of mistakes and excellent driving alike) in training sessions to make safety lessons more concrete and provide constructive feedback. Focusing on improvement rather than punishment has built tremendous trust – drivers see that the cameras are there to help them, not to catch them out.

Industry Trends and Best Practices

ProTorque’s video safety program aligns with broader industry trends. In recent years, many fleets have adopted dual-facing cameras, and initially skeptical drivers have come around after seeing the benefits. Industry leaders report that emphasizing the positive uses of cameras – for instance, sharing video that exonerates a driver or spotlighting examples of safe driving – is key to earning driver buy-in. There’s also growing consensus that dash cam programs must respect driver privacy and be used fairly. Best practices suggest using footage to coach and retain drivers, not as a “gotcha” surveillance tool. We’ve embraced these principles at ProTorque – focusing on coaching, transparency, and positive reinforcement – and it has paid off with a strong, collaborative safety culture.

Boosting Client Confidence and Team Morale

These safety investments have ripple effects beyond day-to-day operations.

When running casing, the traditional reliance on truck-powered hydraulic units often leads to elevated fuel usage, more frequent maintenance needs, and occasional downtime. ProTorque’s Electric Hydraulic Power Unit (eHPU) offers a cleaner, cost-effective alternative by drawing power directly from the rig, reducing reliance on diesel engines and cutting greenhouse gas emissions. 

About eHPUs

An eHPU replaces a conventional truck-based hydraulic system (commonly powered by a diesel engine’s power take-off) with a self-contained unit that uses electricity from the rig. By tapping into a resource that’s already available on-site, the eHPU lowers diesel consumption and eases the maintenance burden usually associated with truck engines. Its design integrates neatly with existing rig setups, simplifying both equipment arrangement and daily procedures.

Key Benefits of the eHPU

1. Reduced Fuel Costs and Emissions
   • Lower Diesel Usage: Instead of relying on a continuously running truck engine, the eHPU runs on electricity produced by the rig’s power system. This shift dramatically cuts diesel consumption and associated costs.
   • Decreased Carbon Footprint: Burning less diesel equates to fewer emissions. For operators aiming to reduce greenhouse gases, the eHPU is a direct step toward more sustainable operations.
     
     
2. Simplified Maintenance and Reliability
   • Fewer Moving Parts: With no diesel engine to maintain, the overall system requires less upkeep. That translates into lower long-term expenses and fewer mechanical failures.
   • Enhanced Uptime: When a truck-powered system fails, downtime can halt operations. The eHPU’s design provides a backup if the hydraulic lines from a truck have issues, helping crews stay on track even in unexpected conditions.
     
     
3. Optimized Rig Integration
   • Seamless Design: The eHPU slots into existing rig layouts with minimal structural changes, leveraging rig power instead of separate fuel tanks or complicated add-ons.
   • Faster Setup and Teardown: Crews can spend less time preparing equipment and more time on the actual operation. The eHPU’s compact form factor reduces the extra hoses, cables, and warm-up times for diesel engines.
     
     
4. Improved Crew Safety and Efficiency
   • Less Engine Noise: With fewer diesel engines running, the rig floor is quieter, improving communication and overall working conditions.
   • Stable Power Supply: With the eHPU tied into the rig’s electrical system, pressure and flow remain consistent, helping eliminate the fluctuations that can happen when relying on engine RPMs for power.

Practical Applications in the Field

ProTorque has deployed eHPUs on multiple rigs, notably in Canada, where environmental goals and operational costs highlight the benefits. Crews report a noticeable decrease in diesel expenses, and managers appreciate the system’s steady performance. When a rig is remote or faces challenging conditions, the eHPU’s simplified logistics contribute to smoother day-to-day operations, reducing the need for frequent fuel resupplies and lowering the risk of mechanical issues.

Why the eHPU Matters for Oil and Gas Operations

With margins under pressure and sustainability concerns growing, the eHPU stands out as a strategic upgrade for rig operators. By cutting fuel usage, minimizing emissions, and streamlining setup, the eHPU offers a more sustainable approach without sacrificing efficiency or reliability.
