"Environmental regulatory compliance solutions will continue to play a key role in overall decarbonisation, and we believe Encino is in a strategic position to capitalise on these needs," said Michael Watzky, Managing Partner of BP Energy Partners.

Founded in 2010, Encino provides a wide range of environmental and regulatory compliance solutions within the upstream and midstream energy sectors along with marine, power, industrial, mining, and other sectors.  

The company's mobile testing laboratories allow for rapid deployment to meet customers emissions testing needs and regulatory requirements. Engineering expertise provides the capability to assess, design, and implement an array of strategies to address complex environmental projects.
