Services

We, at Progressive Consulting, believe that building a relationship with the regulatory agencies from the very beginning is critical to the success of the operator in securing their permits to drill.

We educate our team on the "permitting" process as well as all environmental and land survey type procedures. We believe we have set the standard in the oil and gas industry for performing quality work in the regulatory compliance arena. Not only do we help secure Federal, State, City, County, or any other permits, we also assist our clients with their follow up and completion compliance work.
