ECT is supporting a major energy operator in oil and gas development across southeastern New Mexico by providing environmental field surveys and permitting documentation for upstream projects on Bureau of Land Management (BLM) lands.
ECT ecologists are trained under the BLM Carlsbad field office standard survey protocol to conduct Special Status Plant Species (SSPS) surveys across BLM-managed lands in Lea, Eddy and Loving counties. This protocol-driven approach supports upstream development by giving the client a clear picture of species considerations early in project planning, helping reduce the risk of permitting delays.
Each reporting package pairs field data with GIS deliverables and incorporates agency coordination, giving both the client and regulators documentation they can act on with confidence. By surfacing resource concerns early and documenting methods to federal standards, ECT helps keep drilling timelines on track while meeting BLM’s regulatory expectations. What sets ECT apart is the depth of the client relationship itself: a track record across multiple projects that has made ECT a trusted, repeat partner for upstream permitting work in the region.
