Environmental Compliance

Environmental Liability is a Balance Sheet Risk

For independent oil and gas operators, the regulatory landscape in Texas is a constantly moving target. A single missed filing, an outdated SPCC plan, or an unpermitted emission source can lead to crippling fines from the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality (TCEQ) or the Railroad Commission (RRC), and even forced shut-ins.

Tektite Energy removes the regulatory burden from your back office. We conduct rigorous field audits, draft PE-certified compliance plans, and handle the bureaucratic filings so you can stay focused on drilling, completing, and producing.

Core Environmental Disciplines

We provide comprehensive environmental management, from routine reporting to crisis response and remediation oversight:

• SPCC Plans: Development, PE certification, and five-year reviews of Spill Prevention, Control, and Countermeasure plans.
• Air Permitting: TCEQ Permits by Rule (PBR), Standard Permits, synthetic minor, and Title V operating permits.
• Tier II Chemical Reporting: Accurate annual tracking and submission of EPCRA Section 312 chemical inventory reports to TCEQ, LEPCs, and local fire departments.
• Phase I & Phase II ESAs: Environmental Site Assessments to protect you from inheriting legacy liabilities during Acquisitions and Divestitures (A&D).
• Waste Management: E&P waste disposal planning, NORM surveys, waste stream characterization, and manifesting under RRC Statewide Rule 8. RCRA generator compliance for non-exempt waste streams.

Spill Response & Remediation

When a release happens, the clock starts ticking. Tektite provides rapid-response regulatory guidance to ensure spills are reported to the correct agencies (RRC, TCEQ, EPA) within the legal timeframes. We also oversee third-party environmental cleanup crews, soil sampling, and closure reporting to get your site back to baseline quickly and cost-effectively.
