Oil & Gas Exploration Program Management Considerations - an Analytical Perspective

About this webinar:

The increase in the use of hydraulic fracturing in the U.S. has raised concerns on the impact to the environment from this technique. These concerns range from fugitive migration of gas or fracking fluids to the surface, the hazardous profile of drilling wastes generated, and the potential of contamination to the groundwater table from fracking fluids or deep formation constituents.

Hydraulic Fracturing is a technique used to increase the rate of production of fluids from deep reservoirs (generally 5,000 to 15,000 feet). This procedure is routinely used in the oil and gas industry to increase production from a well bored into rock formations with low porosity and permeability. In the U.S., this technique has been employed extensively in shale formations which have extremely low natural permeability to increase the rate of production from the wells.

TestAmerica provides technical and analytical support to the oil and gas industry to monitor and control the potential for these possibilities. Through our extensive experience in this market sector, TestAmerica employs a best practices guideline to working with industry to assist them in achieving their operational goals while still providing protection to the environment.

Topics the presentation will cover:

• Chemical nature of the matrix involved
• Evolving regulatory landscape
• Location specific challenges
• Best Practices total analytical program
• Key factors in assembling your project team

Who should attend?

• Oil & Gas industry personnel
• Government and Regulatory personnel
• Consultants and Engineers
• Waste Disposal personnel (Landfill and WWTP)
• Site Owners

A question and answer session will immediately follow the presentation. At the conclusion of each webinar, you will be asked for your feedback and opinions for future webinar topic to be developed by TestAmerica.
