Breitling Energy Wins Award for Excellence in Environmental
Stewardship from Oil & Gas Awards Gulf Coast
DALLAS, March 20, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- Breitling Energy Corporation
(OTCBB: BECC) (the "Company") announced it has been named the top
honoree by the Oil & Gas Awards, earning the Aggreko Award for
Excellence in Environmental Stewardship by an Exploration and
Production Company. The award for the Gulf Coast Region was announced
at the Awards Gala Dinner in Houston this week.
Also a finalist in the E&P Company of the Year and Corporate Social
Responsibility categories, Breitling was recognized for its advances
in environmental stewardship and outstanding achievements in the
upstream and midstream sectors of the oil and gas industry.
"We are very proud of the work we're doing at Breitling to minimize
the environmental impact of exploration and production activities,"
said CEO Chris Faulkner. "Through our EnviroFracT and Social License
Initiative programs, we strive provide an industry model for
increasing public understanding and acceptance of fracking."
Under Breitling Energy's EnviroFrac program, hydraulic fracturing
fluid additives are evaluated and eliminated if they are not critical
to successful completion. Essential additives are replaced with
food-grade alternatives. EnviroFrac is part of Breitling Energy's
Social License Initiative outreach program, created to gain what
Breitling calls the "Social License" by educating residents about
fracking and sharing operation information through in-person town hall
and one-on-one interactions within affected communities.
The company was also awarded in 2013 for E&P Company of the Year by
the Oil & Gas Awards for the Southwest Region, named "Best North
American Operator" by World Finance Magazine in 2011, 2012 and 2013,
and to the "Dallas 100 List" in 2013, ranking fourth among the top 100
companies in the Dallas-Fort Worth area. Faulkner was named Industry
Leader of the Year in 2013 by the Oil & Gas Awards for the Southwest
Region, Oil Executive of the Year in 2013 by the American Energy
Research Group, and recognized in the "Dallas Who's Who in Energy" in
2012 and 2013.
