Through the agreement, GEP's operations will produce RSG using Project Canary's continuous on-site monitoring technology and TrustWell™ certification process, which provides third party verification that the operator has utilized the highest standards and practices in all phases of their operations.

"Safety and environmental responsibility are core to GEP's values and we're proud to partner with Project Canary to independently review and verify our environmental performance," said Margaret Molleston, GEP President and CEO. "There's a clear differentiated market for responsibly sourced gas and Project Canary, with its rigorous standards, is the market leader in operational and analysis and outside certification."

According to the agreement details, Project Canary will deploy 42 'Canary X' continuous monitoring units across 14 well pads in the company's Haynesville Shale producing area and certify production from 26 wells through the comprehensive, 600 unique data points evaluated by the TrustWell review process.

"In gaining responsibly sourced gas certification, GEP is showing ESG leadership through action," said Chris Romer, Project Canary co-founder and CEO. "Certified responsibly sourced gas will soon account for 10 percent of U.S. daily production as leading oil and gas companies, like GEP, and customers in the utility and LNG space recognize the value of this differentiated product."

A Denver-based B-Corp, Project Canary provides emissions monitoring data and related technologies, and has developed a unique wellhead to burner-tip pilot that can be used across the energy value chain – from the production, transmission and marketing of RSG.

GEP joins producers in the Marcellus, Utica, Haynesville, Cotton Valley, Eagle Ford, Permian, DJ and Green River Basins, in partnering with Project Canary on responsibly sourced gas certification.
