OIL & GAS INDUSTRY

Compliance with Natural Gas Laws is complicated...We Clear It Up For You.

There are a considerable number of environmental issues to evaluate in the exploration and production of natural gas from the Appalachian region.

With a staff of state licensed geologists and engineers, as well as environmental scientists and field technicians, Letterle has the people, resources and experience to help you meet your regulatory obligations.

We provide field and professional services based on expert knowledge of environmental laws and policies so our clients can make the best informed decisions.



The Gas Boom
Marcellus Shale became a common "household" phrase in 2008 after Range Resources announced the results of its first horizontal wells drilled in Washington County Pennsylvania. Ever since, the demand for drilling support services such as pre-drill surveys, groundwater monitoring and stray gas studies has steadily increased.

The boom has also caused increased scrutiny by citizens, regulators and elected officials that will surely result in more stringent regulations. For that reason, it is important to engage an environmental consulting firm with proven experience in collecting, interpreting and reporting water impacts that can withstand this extra scrutiny and even a legal challenge.


Why Letterle
Unlike many consultants and third party labs, Letterle has direct experience in contacting property owners, collecting water and vapor samples and interpreting analytical results in summary reports.

Letterle is in the field daily and is meticulous and detailed in following standard collection procedures, keeping field notes, following chains-of-custody and ensuring that sample results are received from an accredited lab with quality assurance and quality control measures.

Letterle has the knowledge, skill and experience to help you comply with new water and methane monitoring regulations that are sure to develop as the shale gas boom continues to expand.
