Client Challenge
An oil and gas company, dedicated to responsible energy exploration and production, responded quickly and decisively to a natural gas well control incident. Due to a period of record-breaking rains, a primary containment wall failed, causing a release of 10,000 gallons of well fluid. The production fluid, mixing with rainwater, flowed off the well pad and into nearby pasture, pond, and creek.
Client Challenge
A US-based energy company invests in the development of unconventional onshore oil and natural gas assets. Its commitment to responsible and safe operations requires collection of voluminous data related to drinking and domestic water quality at potential and approved natural gas drilling sites. Data are collected prior to any drilling activities to establish a baseline of water quality prior to well construction and operation.
Client Challenge
A global integrated energy company has invested in the development of natural gas resources in the Marcellus and Utica shale plays of Pennsylvania, Ohio, and West Virginia. The company’s commitment to safe and responsible development stresses that operations at well pads, impoundments, tank pads, and pipeline facilities are completed with respect for the communities and protection of the environment.
Client Challenge
A US-based producer of oil and natural gas required establishment of a multi-state groundwater quality database to support their drilling operations. The massive five-state program was designed to meet regulatory and liability protection requirements. The company was challenged to manage and properly glean from data collected, as there were commonly multiple sources of parcel data and overlapping of parcels identified for sampling during different stages of the drilling program.
Client Challenge
An independent oil and natural gas company is committed to operating in a safe and sustainable manner across its operations. The company has relied on GES to provide an array of consulting and field services related to health, safety, and environmental compliance at shale play development sites in the U.S. When an overflow occurred from production wastewater tanks at a Marcellus Shale play development site, approximately 1,000 gallons of flowback water impacted on- and off-site soil and groundwater.
Client Challenge
The property owner of a former chemical manufacturing facility sought regulatory approval to implement site reuse plans that included restoring and reusing an on-site warehouse and distribution center. A remediation system had been operating on site, but was no longer effective in reducing contaminant concentrations. The owner sought regulatory compliance and added value to this commercial property.
Client Challenge
The business plan of this multinational home improvement retailer includes purchase and reuse of diverse properties to expand their enterprise. Environmental consulting services are required to ensure safe and responsible purchase, redevelopment, and ongoing retailing operations. GES has supported this retail company with varied environmental services across the US for more than a decade.
Client Challenge
A former manufacturing facility was entered into the state’s brownfield program. With additional financial backing from the Clean Ohio Revitalization Fund (CORF), a redevelopment company purchased the property and sought environmental cleanup and regulatory approvals to realize a revitalized commercial property. The 20.8-acre site includes building structures to be improved and reoccupied. However, chlorinated impacts in the area of former storage tanks near the building remained above permissible risk-based action levels.
Client Challenge
This Class I railroad is responsible for managing the operations of 22 rail yards and five intermodal facilities located across the state of California. These complex operations, with varying permit and compliance requirements, involve multiple contract operators providing diverse services at different facilities.
