Oil and gas is one of CK Associates' core sectors. The firm helps operators across Louisiana, Texas and the Gulf South meet air, water, waste and wetlands requirements, from permit applications and compliance reporting to spill planning, site assessment and agency negotiations.
CK has been employee-owned since 2004 and has more than 45 years of experience, with six service lines under one roof: air quality, water quality, risk, remediation and waste, ecological, litigation support, and drone and GIS.

CK Associates prepares each of these.
