WRAP Headlines

WRAP Background

WRAP was initiated by a consortium of upstream oil and gas producers in 1999. The purpose of the assessment program is to determine the liability and risk associated with taking waste products to third party waste receivers. The waste receivers that are assessed provide a wide range of services and include treatment facilities, transfer stations, landfills and incineration facilities. The reports include a description of the assessment process, a facility description, plot plans, facility photographs, observations and findings, a detailed assessment scoring protocol and the overall facility rating.
