Exploration and Production

HFP performs quality acoustical services for gas storage facilities, drilling operations and gathering facilities. HFP works in all aspects of the acoustic design, from noise impact assessments, conceptual and detailed compressor station design to commissioning and operation noise emission studies. We have an intimate working knowledge of the COGCC, FERC and NEB noise regulations.

HFP has performed sound level measurements on drill rigs, at well head sites, compression, and gas truck and rail car loading facilities.  We have presented our findings at county planning commission meetings as well as at public county commissioner meetings. HFP can recommend noise control mitigation measures for new facility design or for an existing facility retrofit. We can provide rank-ordered equipment treatment priorities, detailed conceptual sketches, recommendations of specialty vendor products and tender specifications.
