America's energy reliability depends on natural gas. Whether powering homes, industries, or generating electricity, natural gas provides dependable baseload energy. But getting that gas reliably requires bulletproof midstream infrastructure.
What Midstream Infrastructure Requires
✓ Reliable pipeline systems that transport gas safely and continuously
✓ Compressor stations that move gas efficiently across regions
✓ Meter stations that measure and regulate delivery volumes
✓ Proper maintenance and upgrades to handle demand
✓ Facilities designed for operational continuity and safety
Without solid infrastructure, operations fail and production stops.
JRH's Midstream Capabilities
For 30+ years, JRH Contracting has built and maintained pipeline systems, compressor stations, and meter stations across Wyoming, Colorado, Utah, and the Mountain West.
Our services include:

Pipeline construction and maintenance
Compressor station installation and support
Meter station work and regulation equipment
Facility maintenance and upgrades
Emergency response and quick repairs

Every system is designed to operate reliably, safely, and continuously.
Why Infrastructure Quality Matters
As natural gas demand grows, infrastructure must handle increased volume and continuous operation. Old systems fail. New systems built to modern standards perform for decades.
JRH understands that reliability isn't optional in midstream work. When infrastructure is built right, it runs reliably for decades.

Surface Casing Pressure: The Critical Step Before Well Abandonment
Before plugging and abandoning a well, one critical step cannot be skipped: verifying that surface casing has no trapped pressure remaining.
Why Surface Casing Pressure Matters
The surface casing protects groundwater and soil from contamination. If pressure builds up inside the casing, it indicates a leak or communication issue downhole. Regulatory agencies like the BLM require documented verification that no trapped pressure remains before abandonment can proceed.
The Problem: Seized Valves
In older wells, surface casing valves become seized or inoperable over time. When that happens, operators can't open the valve to verify pressure status, creating a compliance problem: you can't prove the casing is pressure-free, so abandonment gets delayed.
The Solution: Specialized Drilling
Specialized drilling methods safely drill through seized valves and verify casing pressure. This approach maintains wellbore integrity, provides documented verification for regulatory compliance, and allows abandonment to proceed on schedule.
Safety, Compliance, and Environmental Protection
Proper well abandonment requires accurate pressure monitoring, documented verification, safe handling methods, regulatory compliance, and environmental protection. When done correctly, wells are abandoned safely. When skipped, environmental risks and regulatory penalties increase.
JRH's Well Abandonment Experience
For 30+ years, JRH Contracting has provided well intervention services across Wyoming, Colorado, and Utah. Our crews understand surface casing systems, valve drilling, regulatory requirements, and safe abandonment procedures. We bring the specialized expertise responsible well abandonment demands.
The Bottom Line
Surface casing pressure verification isn't a formality — it's a critical environmental and regulatory requirement. Proper procedures ensure wells are abandoned safely, protect groundwater, and maintain compliance with regulatory agencies.

Why Proper Installation Matters in Oilfield Operations
The quality of initial installation determines whether your equipment performs reliably for decades — or fails prematurely, causing costly downtime and safety risks.
Whether it's tank systems, treaters, or pipeline infrastructure, doing the work right the first time isn't just good practice. It's the foundation of operational success.
The Real Cost of Poor Installation Equipment that should last 20+ years fails in 5. Rework costs double what proper installation would have cost. Faulty welds create safety hazards. Inadequate coatings lead to premature corrosion. Poor installation always costs more in the long run.
What Proper Installation Delivers Tank Systems — Quality coatings resist corrosion for decades. Proper foundation work prevents settling. Safety systems function as designed from day one.
Treaters — Correct Treater Coatings ensure efficient separation, temperature control, and pressure management. Systems operate at design capacity immediately.
Pipeline Infrastructure — Quality welding meets pressure requirements. Proper coating protects girth welds from corrosion. Correct alignment prevents stress points and premature failure.
Built for Long-Term Performance ✓ Certified welding that meets codes and withstands operational pressures ✓ Protective coatings applied correctly — surface prep, thickness, proper application ✓ Equipment aligned and supported to prevent mechanical stress ✓ Safety systems that work from day one, not added later ✓ Compliance with API, DOT, and OSHA requirements built in
The JRH Approach For over 30 years, JRH Contracting has installed tanks, treaters, and pipeline systems across Wyoming, Colorado, and Utah. Our focus: getting it right the first time through certified personnel, quality control at every step, and field experience that prevents the mistakes we've seen others make.
The bottom line: It costs less to do it right initially than to fix it later. Properly installed infrastructure performs better — fewer failures, less downtime, safer operations, and lower long-term costs.
When your operation needs equipment installed to last, JRH brings the certified expertise and proven experience that delivers reliable performance from day one.

Corrosion costs the oil and gas industry billions every year. A quality coating stops it before it starts.
At JRH Contracting, we apply industrial protective coatings to the equipment that keeps your operation running. We coat storage tanks, tank ceilings, fire tubes, treaters, containments, catch pans, mixing tanks, frac tanks, bulk mixing tanks, fuel tanks, bulk concrete trucks, and tank trucks — and we handle general industrial painting too.
Every surface we coat gets the right product for the job. We prep, apply, and inspect each coating to meet industry standards and your site's specific demands. That means your equipment lasts longer, performs better, and costs less to maintain.
Corrosion does not wait. A tank or treater left unprotected will fail early and take your budget with it. The right coating adds years to the life of your infrastructure and protects your investment in the field.
JRH has built its reputation on doing this work right the first time. Our crews are trained, certified, and ready to work safely on your location — with minimal disruption to your operations.
Reach out today, and let's talk about protecting your equipment for the long haul.
