Case Study: Top Colorado Oil and Gas Producer Builds Trust with New Neighbors with Linhart PR

Top Colorado Oil and Gas Producer starts on the right foot with Linhart PR in a 4-well pad launch

A top Colorado oil and gas producer faced significant challenges when introducing itself to a new host community. After an asset acquisition, they needed to build trust but were hindered by the COVID-19 pandemic, community opposition to a planned well pad location from a previous owner, and an online incident at a newly acquired site. They partnered with Linhart PR for stakeholder engagement and communications strategy to navigate this situation.

Linhart PR implemented a telephone town hall as a safe engagement format, providing presentation materials and managing the live Q&A. Following the meeting, they compiled resources for the company's website. This solution successfully generated positive feedback from residents and a community watch group leader, establishing a cooperative relationship. The company achieved its goal of starting on the right foot, and subsequent well completions proceeded without incident.
