Embodiment Construction

[0013]It is to be understood that at least some of the figures and descriptions of the invention have been simplified to illustrate elements that are relevant for a clear understanding of the invention, while eliminating, for purposes of clarity, other elements that those of ordinary skill in the art will appreciate may also comprise a portion of the invention. However, because such elements are well known in the art, and because they do not facilitate a better understanding of the invention, a description of such elements is not provided herein.

[0014]The Figures illustrate various embodiments of a system for a rig mat sprayed with polyuria system; common parts will be represented by the same reference numeral. The rig mat according to embodiments of the invention creates a flooring for the drilling rig and is a non-breachable sealed system for containing liquids that may be harmful to the environment produced by the drilling and hydraulic fracking process.

Abstract

A containment mat generally including matting tiles and a polyuria/polyurethane coating. Matting tiles are preferably formed from composite recycled rubber and are arranged in a first layer and a second layer with overlapping edges forming a shiplap design. The polyuria/polyurethane coating is sprayed on the seams between matting tiles creating a solid containment mat. A rig mat system may include a rig mat and a sealed leak-proof containment berm made from geo-fabric and foam blocks that are encapsulated in the geo-fabric and sprayed with the polyuria/polyurethane coating. The area between the berm and the matting tiles creates a trough for containing liquids.

Description

CROSS-REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATION[0001]This application claims benefit under 35 U.S.C. §119(e) of the earlier filing date of U.S. Provisional Patent Application No. 61 / 755,591 filed on Jan. 23, 2013, which is hereby incorporated by reference.FIELD OF THE INVENTION[0002]This application discloses an invention which is related, generally and in various embodiments, to solid containment for the oil and gas industry and other areas.BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION[0003]Fracking is a method of extracting natural gas that is trapped in layers of shale beneath the Earth's surface. The process involves drilling into the shale layers and pumping pressurized fluid to recover natural gas. The environment is exposed to harmful contaminates during the drilling and recovery process of natural gas and oil products.[0004]Typical drilling sites are constructed and developed with heavy earth moving machinery until the best substructure is created to stabilize the ground that the drilling rig is place...
