SERVICES & EXPERIENCE

Consulting Services & Experience GGA offers a broad range of technical, environmental and regulatory services including:  Petroleum Engineering, Geology, Hydrology, Water Resource Management, Air Quality Engineering and Permitting, Regulatory and Government Affairs and Property Due Diligence.  Our experienced staff supplements their in-depth substantive knowledge with valuable agency relationships allowing for efficient navigation of regulatory processes.

PETROLEUM ENGINEERING

Petroleum Data Analysis Petroleum engineering capabilities include reserve estimations; production analysis and forecasting; log analysis; petroleum reservoir and aquifer characterizations; reservoir modeling; pressure transient analysis including rate transient analysis; and economic evaluations.  GGA’s combined petroleum engineering and geology streamlines projects that require both disciplines.  When representing clients before the Wyoming Oil and Gas Conservation Commission (WOGCC), we first prepare the application.  Then we manage the hearing preparation process by gathering, reviewing and organizing evidence.  We conclude by presenting testimony in a highly organized and coordinated manner lending significant credibility to our client’s position.  In addition to WOGCC hearings, we utilize engineering and geology to estimate resource reserves, evaluate infill drilling potential and assess mineral estates including reserves and economics.

Hydrology/Water Resource Management

• Produced water discharge permitting
• Produced water disposal well permitting
• Water well pressure testing analysis
• Pit treatment permitting

AIR QUALITY ENGINEERING AND PERMITTING

Air Quality & Engineering     Our air quality engineering and permitting staff has experience with State and Federal regulatory requirements for oil and gas production facilities and ancillary equipment.  For example, Wyoming Air Quality Standards and Regulations (WAQSR); New Source Review (NSR); Chapter 6, Section 2 Oil and Gas Production Facilities Permitting Guidance as well as New Source Performance Standards (NSPS) Subparts JJJJ, K, Ka, Kb and OOOO; National Emission Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants (NESHAP) Subparts HH, HHH and ZZZZ; and Subpart W (the “Greenhouse Gas Rule”).  We also maintain working relationships with flow measurement companies and laboratories capable of providing the information necessary for both quantifying and qualifying regulated air pollutant emissions that must be included in air quality permit applications.  As a result, we have the air quality skills and contacts to prepare construction permit applications for oil and gas production facilities, compressor, generator and pumping unit engines.  We can evaluate and compile air emission inventories required by the Wyoming Department of Environmental Quality – Air Quality Division.  We can perform Best Available Control Technology (BACT) analyses and air quality compliance auditing.  We can also prepare reports and notifications required under air quality permits.
