Our Story

Maze Environmental has its roots in the upstream fabrication industry. Maze’s Founder, Brooks Pearce, emerged in the upstream business and worked his way up from pumper to CEO. In that time, he noticed every single company had their own methods to do the same thing. Brooks had an idea to create a standardization system for the upstream industry.

Brooks took his team of engineers and began designing a system to standardize the process.

He had hopes to create better cost-effective ways of doing the same job every day. His goal was not to use anything new. Everything his team designed had to be familiar and work with existing systems.

They used the same equipment, and started by simply changing the process, and that led to lower operating pressures, which then led to using different temperatures, and then to modifications in pipe flow. In this process, Brooks and his team began creating a next generation heater treater that swelled oil.

But the process they designed had another effect. The designs showed there was a good chance the process could result in zero emissions from flaring. That’s when Brooks founded Maze Environmental, because what he produces was a simple solution to the industry’s greenhouse gas waste and emissions.

Brooks patented and perfected the designs, and with the next generation heater treater, Maze Environmental is the only company with the technology to remove methane emissions and increase oil production.

Brooks PEarce, Founder & CE0

Brooks Pearce has a background in design, fabrication, production, and consulting in the upstream oil and gas sector. He is focused on finding problem solving solutions for private equities. His skill and expertise can guide companies through facility inspections, emission reduction processes, oil swell strategies, and product implementation and revision.

Emission reduction can get expensive, quickly. Brooks Pearce, with his team at Maze Environmental, focus on giving clients a custom tailored and flexible solution to work with their existing operational system. This gives clients the best cost-effective strategy to achieve their environmental goals, while meeting standards and maintaining a positive CapEx.
