PDC Mountaineer is a joint venture formed in 2009 between PDC Energy and Lime Rock Partners, an experienced investor in, and provider of, growth capital for energy companies worldwide.

CEC Approach
CEC assisted PDC by performing applicability determinations for its operations in West Virginia and Pennsylvania. CEC developed a Greenhouse Gas Monitoring Plan, assisted with its implementation, and provided ongoing regulatory support as the rules evolved. CEC participated in the development of PDC’s strategies to use Best Available Monitoring methods and trained field personnel in the collection of data needed to comply with the recordkeeping and reporting requirements of the rules.
