The Montrose team offers a variety of services for Oil & Gas, ranging from regulatory compliance, permitting and consulting to wastewater consulting, and emissions testing services. With locations conveniently located throughout the U.S. and Canada, we offer integrated services for the unique requirements of the Oil & Gas industry, including upstream, midstream and downstream markets.
Testing services include source testing, laboratory analysis, LDAR, and ambient air monitoring. Our source testing and oil and gas environmental compliance teams have extensive experience in testing to demonstrate compliance with federal, state and local regulations. We’ve developed innovative methods for on-site analysis of VOCs and routinely leverage our internal laboratories for complex projects requiring low-detection limits or involving complex matrices. Our LDAR teams offer an array of services from consulting and FEMP plan development, to testing, inspections, maintenance, and data management, among others. Our cutting-edge ambient air testing team provides solutions to issues including routine particulate and criteria pollutants, Method 325B fenceline monitoring, complex volatile and semi-volatile organic compounds, and setting up and operating meteorological stations. We routinely apply the latest technologies including open path testing using FTIR, TDL UVDOAS, and on-site mobile mass spectrometry for ultra-low measurement of organic compounds. We’ve successfully completed thousands of tests at Oil & Gas sites in the U.S. and Canada since 2005.
The environmental permitting and regulatory compliance team at Montrose helps our Oil & Gas clients achieve and maintain regulatory compliance with federal, state and local regulations throughout the U.S. Our team environmental energy consultants have decades of experience — so we can take on the toughest challenges and deliver successful outcomes without hesitation.
In addition to the skilled oil & gas environmental consulting teams listed above, our soil and groundwater remediation, planning and ecosystem consulting, and water treatment teams routinely solve the most complex problems related to designing, building, and operating plants in these markets.
