AETHERDrill Cuttings Recycling
On-site recycling of solid drilling waste into flexible base material for lease, ranch, and county roads and pad sites — an EPA & TXDOT-approved end product instead of a disposal bill.
Complex maintenance and compliance issues require more than a quick fix — they require experience. From protecting critical components to remediating environmental liabilities, Aether MRO delivers measurable results.
Duravi is an advanced, bio-based metal-treatment technology that transforms the metal surface itself — strengthening it at the point of contact to cut friction, heat, and wear. Unlike lubricants or coatings that wear off, Duravi delivers a persistent enhancement to the metal. Treat the surface, not the symptoms.
ASTM-tested · Bio-based · 100% non-toxic
Aether MRO applies and integrates Duravi into your operation — led by Duravi's General Manager, working directly between the science and the field. We fit treatment into existing maintenance windows with minimal disruption, then validate the impact against your own data.

Blue is the new green
In partnership with Boldwater Environmental Solutions — pioneers of mobile, bio-based hydrocarbon remediation since 2013 — we eliminate hydrocarbon contamination on-site using a patented, 100% natural microbial process. Fast, effective, affordable. We treat and recycle drilling waste where it sits: no trucking, no off-site disposal, no lingering liability.
On-site recycling of solid drilling waste into flexible base material for lease, ranch, and county roads and pad sites — an EPA & TXDOT-approved end product instead of a disposal bill.
Bio-remediate drilling waste and close reserve pits while producing high-quality, reusable road-base material — turning an environmental liability into a usable asset.
On-site bio-remediation of operational, commercial, and waterborne/shoreline hydrocarbon spills — contamination broken down at the molecular level, on location.

The engineering backbone of Aether MRO. Nearly two decades across process and heavy industry — ASME-code pressure vessels, cryogenic/LNG and petrochemical piping, and civil/structural design of process structures, pipe racks, and pump skids (Chart Energy & Chemicals, Schuff Steel, Siemens, S&B Engineers & Constructors). Today he pairs that with Advanced Work Packaging (AWP), LEAN, and BIM/VDC, advising oil & gas and infrastructure operators on reliability, maintenance, and execution (Bentley Systems, Construct-X). Advisor to Duravi and Boldwater.
Founder of Aether MRO and President of DJD Ventures, the company behind it. As General Manager at Duravi, Luka leads North American and European strategic partnerships and the integration of Duravi's plant-based surface technology into industrial operations — bringing the commercial strategy and operational discipline that turn proven technology into measurable field results.
Aether MRO runs an applied R&D program at the frontier of industrial joining. Working with Lonestar's automated orbital welding systems, we have been developing a hybrid laser welding system — pairing high-power fiber-laser energy with automated orbital welding to pursue faster, deeper, higher-integrity welds for pipe and pressure-critical work.
Our development program is equipped with high-power fiber-laser systems — laser welding and laser cleaning platforms acquired for hybrid-welding research and testing. Select systems are now available for acquisition.
