We hold MSAs with a number of significant oil and gas production and transportation companies, including Anadarko, Chesapeake, EQT, Fidelity, NiSource, Noble Energy, WBI Energy Transmission, and Williams, and have supported EIS studies for new fields, seismic exploration, plans of development (POD) for individual well permits and infrastructure, gathering systems, storage facilities, and interstate pipelines.

With offices across the country and the ability to mobilize large field crews, CRA has the capacity and resources to move quickly on concurrent projects while maintaining an emphasis on quality, defensible results. Moreover, we understand the importance of consistent communication and reliable feedback, which helps clients and agencies remain aware of discoveries that may require project modifications.
