Never Get Another Regulatory Application Closed

Worried about closed applications

     You’re waiting for approval to drill a well or dispose acid gas and the regulator closes your application. Instantly you envision lost revenue as you try to figure out what went wrong and how to fix it.

     Application closures can be for technical reasons or based on technicalities. Trying to guess regulators’ continually changing needs can be exasperating. What worked six months ago, may not work today. “The Changing Face of Regulation,” the recent Alberta’s ERCB slogan seems to underscore this problem.

     Proven has a 95% approval ratio for regulatory applications. We have submitted over 500 applications and keep careful track of what the regulators are accepting and rejecting. We have 42 strategies for making sure your application is approved the first time -- not held-up. We even follow up with the regulator to make sure you’re application stays top of mind.
