Mandatory Valet

A weed wash is a compulsory vehicle washdown in order to prevent pernicious plants from other areas of the state getting transported onto the landowners property (where the rig is). Not very exciting I agree, but this is just one of the differences between the conventional oil and gas industry and coal seam gas that I'm learning about. Without a washdown certificate I wouldn't be able to get to the rig. Can you imagine the chaos if the HLO on an offshore rig demanded a washdown certificate when a chopper tried to land on deck?
