Sustainability

Environment

Air

We work to reduce emissions and increase energy efficiency in both our planning and operations.

This includes nationally recognized programs to reduce air emissions, utilize natural gas as a fuel source and virtually eliminate the practice of flaring.

Natural gas fueled drill rigs, green completions and our leak detection and repair program are a few of the measures in place that have substantially reduced our operating emissions.

Surface

We reduce our impact in a number of ways:

Water conservation through our significant treatment and recycling operations
Extensive use of solar power
Spill avoidance and mitigation through engineering controls and training
Industry-leading surface reclamation program that supports wildlife and agricultural activities

Reclamation

Jonah Energy implements a management program to control invasive plant species, while reducing pesticide applications and increasing native pollinator plants. As a result of the work, hundreds of acres of land have been fully restored and enhanced. The reclaimed land now has greater vegetative diversity and production, which provides a more suitable habitat for wildlife in our unique and challenging environment. This success is documented by federal and state agency recognition of habitat restoration with thousands more acres in the reclamation process.

WILDLIFE

Wildlife

Conserving Habitat diversity and reducing impact to plant and animal populations that may be affected by our operations are key considerations in the planning and execution of our operations.

We have programs in place to minimize our impact, reduce disturbance and protect and enhance habitat.

"Limiting our environmental footprint is a priority and an integral part of our operations — from corporate headquarters to the field."

– Howard Dieter, Vice President - Environmental, Health & Safety

Safety

We operate safely for each other, our contractors, our communities and our environment.

Every employee and contractor working for us has the authority to stop work if they have safety concerns.

We continually assess and communicate risks.

From field operations to our downtown Denver headquarters, protecting the health and safety of anyone affected by our activities is integral to our core values.

"Maintaining a balance of conservation and development is good for us, our communities and the landscape we all share."

– Paul Ulrich, Vice President - Government & Regulatory Affairs

Community

We have worked hard to build mutually beneficial relationships with the communities where we work and operate, and are committed to maintaining and enhancing those relationships.

In addition, through our Community Investment Program we volunteer our time, sponsor local charitable organizations and community events, and support our people's contributions through a matching program.
