Case Study

Southern Colorado

Norwest was contracted by Evergreen Resources Inc. in 1998 to provide third party environmental compliance services in support of their producing coal bed methane field in the Central Raton Basin (CRB), Colorado.

Norwest developed and implemented an inspection and testing program for production and domestic water wells, drilling and production pits, storm water controls, and reclamation works that comply with requirements of the several Colorado regulatory agencies. Norwest also responded to landowner complaints and spill events and documented them in accordance with regulatory requirements.

In 2004 Pioneer Natural Resources acquired Evergreen. Norwest continues to provide environmental compliance services in the CRB to Pioneer.
