Natural Resources Management

Exploration and production of natural resources is a challenging but profitable business. Very often approval of exploration or production licenses in a timely fashion is key to their success. There may be as many as thirty different permits required and approvals needed; geologists, hydrogeologists, and engineers can discuss your business objectives and the opportunities presented in connection to natural resources development in order to set the right strategy for your project. Our expertise includes applications for exploratory and production licenses (concessions) on a local and national level. We have completed projects for all stages of operations, from exploration by seismic acquisition to the drilling of exploratory boreholes.

Additionally, natural resource operations require large quantities of water. Lion will examine your water needs and work with you to improve your water balance. Similar problems may arise when a facility produces a large volume of waste, wastewater, or tailings. We will provide third-party landfill audits that protect long-term liabilities. Operators of oil & gas production facilities and mining or aggregate operations have made use of the experiences of Lion personnel to find cost-effective solutions to their particular issues.
