PennEnergy attains Project Canary certification
SUMMARY
Appalachian producer earns gold or platinum ranking on 99% of corporate production
By Maureen McCallUS independent PennEnergy Resources, focused on unconventional shale gas resources in the Appalachian Basin, said January 31 it had achieved environmental certification through Project Canary’s TrustWell certification process.
Project Canary provides third-party environmental reporting and generates trusted data measuring methane emissions and volatile organic compounds (VOCs).
After earning the highest ratings on 99% of 378 wells tested, PennEnergy’s production is certified "Responsibly Sourced Gas" (RSG).
RSG is a certification earned when an independent and respected third party has certified the success of company efforts to significantly reduce the greenhouse gases that are emitted along the value chain.
"Our core values – centred on environmental stewardship, honesty and integrity – inform and guide every decision and action we take as a company," said PennEnergy Resources CEO Rich Weber. "We've built our business around top talent and industry-leading ESG performance and are proud to achieve best-in-class status by Project Canary's rigorous review across all of our well pads."
PennEnergy said it has permanently deployed Canary X emissions monitoring devices, which detect and measure methane and VOCs in real-time, to fulfill its commitments to environmental stewardship.
