Energy producers must meet the growing market demand for fuel in the fastest, most efficient way possible. Yet a host of environmental regulations and public scrutiny make obtaining permits for exploration, drilling, and pipeline construction more challenging.

Our team provides environmental services and in-depth knowledge of federal, state, and local environmental regulations for conventional and unconventional gas and oil projects from the conceptual design and planning stages through construction, inspection and compliance, operations, reclamation and restoration, and closeout.

With experience in the major shale play regions — Bakken, Haynesville, Eagle Ford, Permian, Marcellus/Utica, Niobrara, Monterey, and the Scoop/Stack areas of Oklahoma, we understand the constraints you face with permitting timelines. We will work with you to meet your overall project construction and in-service schedule. SWCA can mobilize our technical experts to widely dispersed locales, under strenuous schedules and unfavorable weather conditions, to keep your projects on track during pre-construction, construction, and post-construction phases of your project.
