Environmental Data Management Systems for E&P Operations Available to Purchase

As environmental managers are faced with an ever-growing number of facilities and environmental regulations, many have opted to implement an environmental data management system. These systems are generally computer-based applications that track, calculate, and report emissions, track permit and regulatory requirements, determine applicability of regulations, track compliance activities, and warehouse pertinent documents.

This paper discusses the attributes of a successful system and provides a roadmap for their development and implementation.
