Horizontal Produced Fluid Storage Tank Testimonials

Teine Energy is in possession of approximately 27 JTL(VIRO) tanks that we have purchased for the purpose of addressing secondary containment requirements for production tanks. Historically we have used 750bbl tanks for the purpose of initial flowback in Saskatchewan, however Sask MER changed the rules on ‘Temporary Tanks requiring Secondary Containment’. Therefore, we needed to set up containment rings around our 750bbl tanks to eliminate environmental risk around spills. This new requirement cost us approximately $6K every time we used a containment ring with a 750bbl, this costs reflects all labor to set up and remove the rings. Also includes the liner which cannot be re-used on other locations. Based on our busy Viking program we would need approximately 27 containments every month, equates to $1.62MM/yr with 10-months of activity(minus spring breakup).
The VIRO Tank offered up a unique situation with 800bbl of storage inside a skidded containment that addressed the MER requirement. The cost of these tanks was approximately $60K per, with a total cost of 27 tanks being $1.62MM. The payout was a year and they have been used for the past 4+ years without issue. They have been a large savings after the first year and have made our equipping operations more efficient and safe.

I’ve had the opportunity to work with Lee on multiple occasions, and each time I’ve come away impressed not only by the quality of his equipment, but by his integrity, professionalism, and commitment to getting the job done right.

Viro Rentals provides some of the most well-designed and reliable tank rental solutions I’ve seen in the field. Their units are engineered with real-world efficiency in mind — easy to transport, quick to set up, and built to handle the harsh conditions of oilfield work. Beyond the equipment itself, what sets Lee and his team apart is their follow-through and responsiveness. When challenges arise, they don’t make excuses; they pick up the phone, problem-solve, and deliver results.

Lee is the kind of owner who’s directly involved in his business. He knows the equipment, the customers, and the operational realities of each project. He brings the same energy and attention to detail whether it’s a single-well job or a larger, multi-site rollout. In an industry where reliability and accountability are everything, that makes a real difference.

I’ve also been impressed by the way Lee runs his company from a safety and environmental standpoint. The tanks Viro designs incorporate containment and efficient handling features that reduce on-site risk and environmental exposure — something many others talk about but few execute as well. It’s clear that Lee takes pride in building a business that reflects both his technical knowledge and his values.

Simply put, I would not hesitate to work with Lee or Viro Rentals again. I trust him to do what he says he’ll do, and to deliver a product and service that meets or exceeds expectations every time. Anyone considering partnering with or hiring Viro Rentals will be in excellent hands.
