Solutions Built Around Your Operations
Wotherspoon Environmental covers everything from environmental audits, assessments and management to hazardous waste management and emergency preparedness, all built around the same idea: practical solutions that fit your operations.
Take The Guesswork Out Of Compliance
Rules change, deadlines shift, and staying on top of it all can feel like a moving target. Without the right plan in place, that uncertainty can lead to penalties, project delays or environmental harm. Wotherspoon Environmental works alongside your team, adapting as your needs change, to build practical, fit-for-purpose programs that reduce risk, support compliance and keep your operations running smoothly.
Why Clients Stick With Us
We're a small, multidisciplinary team, and that's by design. Being small means we can adapt quickly and get to know your operations instead of forcing a standard template. Collaboration is at the core of how we work.
Decades of industry experience
Professional Engineer-certified team
Fit-for-purpose program design
Collaborative, relationship-driven approach
Petroleum and industrial industry knowledge
Regulatory and compliance expertise
Memberships and Safety Credentials You Can Verify
We hold memberships with APEGA and ECO Canada, maintain safety credentials like ISNetworld, and are an ICS Canada Training Partner with organizations including ICS Canada
Experience Across Complex Industries
Wotherspoon Environmental has spent decades working with the upstream and midstream Energy industry, plus clients in industrial insurance and property management. That mix keeps us adaptable, since every sector comes with its own regulatory pressures and operational challenges.
Whether you need environmental services for oil and gas operations or broader compliance support, we bring the same practical, collaborative approach. Our project experience also extends beyond Western Canada, spanning offshore Canada, the United States, and international work across Central America and beyond.
Emergency Planning Before You Need It
When something goes wrong, the difference between a quick recovery and a real mess usually comes down to whether you planned ahead. Without a clear plan, you're looking at downtime, environmental damage, regulatory penalties, and a hit to your reputation.
A solid Emergency Response Plan helps your team respond fast, protect people and the environment, and meet your regulatory obligations. We build practical, customized plans with you, plus training like ICS 100 and 200 and first aid, so your team is ready before an emergency happens, not scrambling after.
How We Work With Your Team
Every project starts with a conversation, not a template. We take time to understand your goals, budget and the regulatory requirements you're working within. From there, we map out the challenges, opportunities and strengths specific to your operations, then lean on our internal resources and network of associate specialists to get it done right, on time and on budget.

A Team Built on Collaboration and Commitment
We've spent decades helping organizations manage their environmental and regulatory responsibilities, one relationship at a time. Commitment and adaptability aren't just words to us; they shape how we work with every client instead of handing over a one-size-fits-all plan. At the end of the day, we're in the business of organizing resources for effective environmental plans.

Who regulates environmental compliance for oil and gas operations in Western Canada?
Environmental compliance requirements can come from a mix of provincial, federal, and industry sources, and they can shift depending on your sector. We help organizations navigate these requirements through environmental audits, assessments and management planning, backed by a professional accredited team.
What sets you apart as environmental and compliance consultants?
Look for a team with practical industry experience, relevant certifications and a collaborative approach. Our team combines Professional Engineers and Geologists, Environmental Professionals, and Emergency Response Specialists with decades of hands-on project experience across more than 5,000 environmental management projects.
Do you only work with the petroleum industry?
No. While we have deep experience with upstream petroleum, we also support clients in the broader energy, Municipalities, industrial insurance, and property management. Our small, multidisciplinary team adapts our approach to fit the regulatory pressures specific to each sector.
What training programs do you offer?
We provide ICS Canada Certified 100 and 200 training, and ICS Role-Specific Awareness training along with first aid training, helping teams build the skills needed for emergency preparedness. These programs work alongside our Emergency Response Planning services to keep your team ready before an incident happens.
Additionally We offer Oilfield waste Management training to support your team in developing the skills they need to protect the environment and maintain compliance.
We bring decades of hands-on experience to organizations across western Canada and beyond that need an environmental compliance consultant they can actually talk to. From emergency response planning to environmental audits, our small, multidisciplinary team stays adaptable and hands-on from start to finish. If you're ready to build a fit-for-purpose environmental program, let's start the conversation.
