Vac Truck

What Are Vac Trucks Used For in the Oilfield?

When you’re working in the oilfield, fluid management is an ongoing challenge — from drilling waste to tank cleanouts to emergency spill response. That’s where vac trucks come in.

At Attack Oilfield Services, our fleet of tandem and tridem vacuum trucks are ready for rugged, remote, and high-volume work. We specialize in safe, compliant, and efficient fluid and sludge hauling across Northern Alberta.

What Does a Vac Truck Do?

A vac truck is designed to suction and transport liquids, sludges, and semi-solids from site to disposal. In the oilfield, common uses include:

  • Drilling fluid and mud recovery

  • Production tank cleanouts

  • Spill cleanup

  • Sump and pit evacuation

  • Line and vessel flushing

  • Septic and greywater services for site shacks

Our units are equipped with high-capacity tanks, powerful vac systems, and heated components for winter operation.

Safety & Compliance First

Our vac truck drivers are trained in TDG, WHMIS, H2S, confined space, fall protection, and site-specific protocols.

When spills or freeze-ups happen, our team can be on-site fast — with the right truck and safety gear to handle the job.
