Savings of Millions over 10 year consulting tenure.

Obtained reduced waste sampling requirements for all gas drilling in PA Marcellus drilling operations.

Reduction from one sample per hole to one sample per pad

     Average Savings of $14K Per Well Pad

No Rig Downtime

Develop innovative methods, designs, and programs to address special problems.

Zero drilling days lost due to environmental issues.

No fines for most incidences.  Lowest fines for major issues. No media coverage.

ENVIRONMENTAL MANAGEMENT

$1B WELLFIELD

Down Hole Geologic: Examination of deep core rock samples for vugs, porosity, mineral composition, etc. Addition of short string to reduce produced water during drilling of surface casing. Sealing off aquifers reduced water disposal and offered protection of groundwater.

NATURAL RESOURCES

COMPRESSOR STATION SAFETY INSPECTION

NYS Police Meth lab awareness training for exploration crews (proposed drill sites and pipeline routes) traveling in remote and isolated areas.

EXPLORATORY DRILLING

HYDROGEN SULFIDE ASSESSMENT

Made Directional Boring Standard Procedure in the Marcellus. Reduced environmental impacts, less regulations, mitigations and restorations. Resulted in obtaining permits quickly and reduced costs of operations.

THE FIRST GAS MIGRATION WELL

Researched Source of hazardous levels of leachable Lead in drilling waste.

COMPLETIONS

FRACKWATER SOLIDS CONTROL

Bentonite recycling

First solid waste railroad transloading hauling station exempt from regulation

Waste management

First water withdrawal permits in Marcellus, including design, underwater surveys, and habitat assessments
