Oil and Gas

At Verterra, we understand the nature and demands of the oil and gas sector.

Verterra is a pioneer and leader in the development of beneficial use options via irrigation of fodder and forestry crops for associated water from Coal Seam Gas production. Our capability in this area to provide a complete end-to-end service, ether on a contract, EPCM or build-own-operate basis, from feasibility study, through full project design and regulatory approval, to project implementation, operation, monitoring and reporting, remains unique.
