DOE Selects ALL's Project to Advance Environmental Science and Technology
ALL Consulting, Tulsa, Okla.—The objective of this project is to develop a modeling system that will allow operators and regulators to plan all aspects of water management associated with shale gas development, including water supply, transport, storage, use, recycling, and disposal. This system will be used in planning, managing, forecasting, permit tracking, and compliance monitoring. See the DOE Techline article here.
Shale Gas Primer Highlighted in E&P Focus Summer 2009 issue of E&P Focus, the National Energy Technology Laboratory’s quarterly newsletter highlighting US Department of Energy oil and gas research. Also included is information on an NETL initiative to help understand the potential for beneficial use of water produced from coalbed methane wells in the Powder River Basin, a new online resource for operators active in the Fayetteville Shale play, and much more.
WORK PROGRESSING ON CAIDC PROPERTY FOR PHOENIX RENEWABLE ENERGY PROJECT
Workers with Geotechnical & Testing Service Inc. are shown operating drilling rigs this week at the CAMDEN ENERGY & RENEWABLE RESOURCES PARK, owned by the Camden Area Industrial Development Corporation (CAIDC) and formerly occupied by International Paper Company. The work is being done in preparation for a scheduled groundbreaking this summer by Phoenix Renewable Energy for a wood pellet manufacturing facility and a small generator power plant, with an investment totaling over $100 million dollars.
The crews were acquiring soil samples for environmental and soil compaction testing purposes. GTS is under contract with ALL Consulting to perform the environmental sampling for the U.S. Army Corps. of Engineers, Tulsa District and the United States Environmental Protection Agency. EPA funded the phase two environmental testing for the Camden Area Industrial Development Corporation. Printed in the Camden News July 12,2009, Page 1. http://epaper.wehco.com/Daily/Skins/Camden/
