OIL & GAS

Strategic Unconventional Gas Development ESIA

  • 1,030 wells

  • 200 trillion scf resource potential

  • Air, groundwater, water, ecology, social, waste and NORM

Defined ESIA framework for ~200 trillion scf resource potential

Client Situation

A strategic unconventional gas development needed a defensible ESIA for drilling, hydraulic fracturing, water management and supporting infrastructure.

R&R Response

Integrated baseline review, modelling, risk assessment, alternatives, mitigation and monitoring into one ESIA framework.

Execution Model

Coordinated engineering inputs, environmental datasets, regulatory assumptions and community sensitivities.

Result / Value

Defined the environmental and social risk profile and translated air, groundwater, water, land, traffic and waste risks into management requirements.

Key Capabilities

Oil & gas ESIA; hydraulic fracturing risk; air dispersion; groundwater vulnerability; water management; GIS; stakeholder sensitivity.

refining

REFINING & DOWNSTREAM

Lender-Style ESIA for Major Refinery Expansion

  • 50,000 to 100,000 BPSD refinery expansion

  • IFC Performance Standards / Equator Principles

  • Air, marine, social, ESAP and stakeholder scope

Client Situation

A refinery expansion in a dense industrial/coastal setting required a lender-ready ESIA and risk-management framework.

R&R Response

Delivered ESIA, baseline, alternatives, stakeholder engagement, ESMS, ESAP, grievance and monitoring framework.

Execution Model

Integrated engineering, local specialists, social inputs, lender standards and regulatory requirements.

Result / Value

Created a defensible pathway for permitting, lender review and cleaner-fuels upgrade decision-making.

Key Capabilities

Refinery ESIA; lender standards; marine assessment; ESAP; stakeholder engagement; climate and cumulative impact.

mining

MINING & METALLURGICAL

Integrated Aluminium & Metallurgical Cluster ESIA

  • 11 industrial packages

  • Red mud ~2.5M tonnes

  • Slag ~20,000 tonnes

Client Situation

A multi-process metallurgical cluster required a full ESIA across air, marine, wastewater, residues, utilities and social risks.

R&R Response

Covered IFC/Equator alignment, air/GHG, marine/brine, noise, traffic, ESAP, grievance, sustainability and closure.

Execution Model

Integrated process engineering, baselines, lender requirements and topic-specific mitigation into one ESIA architecture.

Result / Value

Delivered a complete risk framework for a complex aluminium and metallurgical development.

Key Capabilities

Metallurgical ESIA; aluminium; red mud; slag; marine modelling; IFC/Equator; sustainability.

HOW WE WORK

A practical process for defensible outcomes.

Structured to produce evidence that can be used by project teams, regulators, lenders, contractors, and stakeholders.

01

Scope the decision

Clarify regulatory requirements, data gaps, stakeholders, schedule, and risk tolerance.

02

Build the evidence base

Collect and review baseline data, emissions inputs, technical design, and operating assumptions.

03

Model and assess impacts

Apply air dispersion, GIS, groundwater, noise, odour, GHG, social, or cumulative assessment tools.

04

Convert risk into action

Develop mitigation, monitoring, management plans, ESAP, EERP, KPIs, and implementation controls.

05

Support through review

Stay involved through regulator comments, lender review, revisions, and implementation planning.

TECHNICAL ADVISORY

When issues escalate, you need evidence and a path forward.

R&R Environmental supports industrial, energy, mining, infrastructure, and wastewater clients during urgent environmental and compliance situations. We work quickly to diagnose the issue, quantify the risk, and develop action-oriented recommendations that help projects regain control.
