Breitling Energy,
which is primarily focused on long-lived gas and oil reserves in major onshore
domestic plays, just days out from being selected as a finalist for this year’s
Oil & Gas Awards for the Gulf Coast Region in Corporate Social Responsibility,
Environmental Excellence, and E&P categories, is announcing today that they
successfully landed the top honoree slot at the March 18th black-tie gala event
in Houston, bringing home the Aggreko Award for Excellence in Environmental
Stewardship by an Exploration and Production Company.
Having won Company
of the Year last year in E&P for the Southwest Region and having placed as
a finalist this year in E&P (chosen from a field of over 400 entrants),
while simultaneously showcasing such a boldly positive environmental profile,
is a big win for the company’s reputation in the upstream and midstream
sectors. One of the key factors in the decision was the company’s EnviroFrac™
program, which eliminates all non-mission critical fracking fluid additives via
a comprehensive evaluation process and replaces the remainder with safe,
food-grade solutions.
CEO of BECC, Chris
Faulkner, who has in many ways waged a war on fracking’s bad image in the
public forum, trying to explain that a majority of the concerns over the practice
can be addressed through technological innovation, spoke quite proudly of the
work the company has done to minimize environmental impact from E&P.
Faulkner hailed EnviroFrac as an ambassador to the public and the media alike,
which, combined with the company’s other ongoing Social License Initiatives,
has helped BECC carve out a distinct model for the industry to emulate and this
latest accolade for environmental stewardship by the highly respected Oil &
Gas Awards really supercharges the company’s PR momentum.
BECC’s broader
Social License Initiative outreach program helps educate local residents
through direct meetings at town halls and cooperation with individuals and
businesses (or other interests) in a given operational area. This constant striving
by BECC to inform the public about fracking and share info about operations is
essential to success, not just for the company, but for the industry as a
whole, especially considering that the average person doesn’t even know
fracking fluid alternatives and the like exist. With so much energy beneath our
feet in the U.S., it becomes increasingly important to not only adapt
technologically to emerging sustainability demands, but to educate the public
as advances become possible and BECC/Faulkner have done a real yeoman’s work in
this regard.
This latest award
for environmental stewardship is more than acknowledgement of BECC’s dedication
and their continued efforts to innovate; it is an eye-catching addition to a
long list of such accolades, including being named World Finance Magazine’s
“Best North American Operator” for the last three years running. This
Dallas-headquartered E&P also made WFM’s top 100 list of companies for the
Dallas-Fort Worth area last year. Faulkner himself was tapped in 2013 for Industry
Leader of the Year by the Oil & Gas Awards (Southwest Region) and made the
Dallas Business Journal’s “Dallas Who’s Who in Energy” list for both 2012 and
2013, also having been named Oil Executive of the Year by the American Energy
Research Group during the latter.
The company
continues to draw attention as a paragon of environmental responsibility in the
E&P space and it’s companies like BECC that have the power to change
people’s minds about fracking, something which is vital to maximizing the productive
potential of our numerous domestic onshore basins, like the one’s BECC is
focused on, the Bakken/Three Forks, Mississippi Lime, and Eagle Ford Shale.
