Nuverra Environmental Solutions, Inc. Announces Acquisition of Landfill Site in North Dakota

Nuverra Environmental Solutions, Inc. (NYSE: NES), one of the largest companies in the United States dedicated to the removal, treatment, recycling, transportation and disposal of restricted solids, fluids and hydrocarbons, today announced that it has entered into a definitive agreement to acquire Ideal Oilfield Disposal, LLC (“Ideal”), a greenfield oilfield disposal landfill site located in McKenzie County, North Dakota. Terms of the transaction were not disclosed.

The landfill site has received draft permits by regulatory authorities in accordance with the North Dakota Department of Health. The completion of the transaction is subject to certain closing conditions. The transaction is expected to close in the late second quarter or early third quarter of 2013. The Company anticipates that the landfill will be operational by the end of 2013, and once completed, will be accretive to earnings and produce approximately $18 to 20 million in annual run-rate revenue, exclusive of potential revenue synergies with the Company’s other service offerings.

Mark D. Johnsrud, Chief Executive Officer of Nuverra commented, “We are very pleased to add our first oilfield waste landfill site in North Dakota to our growing portfolio of environmental solutions. As the environmental and regulatory landscape changes, solid waste disposal, particularly as it relates to providing our customers a permanent solution to the disposal of drill cuttings, is an integral component in being a full-cycle, closed-loop environmental solutions provider. We also intend to build additional treatment options around the landfill, all of which facilitate our strategic objective of offering our customers a one-stop environmental solution that includes both liquids and solids.”

The oilfield disposal landfill will be located on a 60-acre site with initial draft permitted capacity of over 1.7 million cubic yards of airspace. The Company believes that permitted capacity could be expanded to 5.8 million cubic yards of permitted airspace capacity in the future. The Company anticipates the transaction resulting in additional planned 2013 capital expenditures of $6.0 to $8.0 million to make the landfill site operational. One of the owners of Ideal has agreed to join the Company on a full-time basis to manage the landfill.
