Turning Oilfield Waste into Carbon-Negative Value

In this episode, Megan sits down with Carolina Ortega, VP of Sustainability and Communications at Milestone Environmental Services, to explore how a decade-old Texas-based firm is reshaping oilfield waste management into a carbon-negative powerhouse. Learn how Milestone’s slurry reinjection process sequesters more CO₂ than it emits, why cost-neutral sustainable practices still face cultural barriers, and how a novel, public stakeholder-engagement framework is building community trust. Whether you’re in heavy industry, ESG strategy, or just curious about real-world decarbonization, Carolina’s insights on aligning environmental stewardship with business growth are not to be missed.
