GATE Energy has announced the acquisition of Patriot Rentals’ filtration business unit headquartered in Lafayette, LA. Patriot will join forces with BlueFin, a GATE Energy Company, which will expand their project management bench strength and expertise in water filtration and flowback solutions, further bolstering BlueFin’s expertise for turnkey pipeline management and flowback services.

Recognised and differentiated by their experienced operations team, Patriot’s core competencies are water filtration and handling, flowback solutions for well unloading and transient event management, water filtration for pipeline decommissioning and remediation, and temporary produced water treatment for WSO’s and other contaminants.

Jamie Robin, Patriot’s Operations Manager and Partner, says, “The Patriot team is really excited about the opportunity to partner with BlueFin. The addition of this service offering to BlueFin’s best in class Pipeline and Process platform will bring tremendous value to their already established GoM customer base. BlueFin has built a dynamic business and have been an impressive group to watch grow over the last few years.”
