Our opportunity to avoid widespread, global climate change disaster is rapidly closing. That's why we're focused on plugging orphaned oil and gas wells which release methane, a greenhouse gas and key driver of climate change around the world. Each time we plug an orphaned well, we are making immediate, verifiable, and lasting impact on climate change.

Blue Carbon and Financial Returns
By aligning our projects with global initiatives, we generate verified blue carbon credits that offer both environmental and financial benefits. These credits contribute to carbon markets, providing a profitable and measurable investment opportunity for our partners. By restoring these habitats, we not only sequester significant amounts of carbon but also enhance biodiversity, strengthen coastal resilience, and protect vital ecosystems from degradation. This natural process contributes directly to global climate goals.

What is an orphaned oil and gas well?
How big of a problem are orphaned oil and gas wells?
Orphaned oil and gas wells pose a significant environmental challenge, particularly due to the methane they emit. Methane is a potent greenhouse gas, with over 84 times the global warming potential of carbon dioxide over a 20-year period. The United States alone has an estimated two to three million orphaned oil and gas wells. These wells, often left unplugged and abandoned, leak methane into the atmosphere, contributing significantly to climate change. The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) estimates that methane emissions from inactive and orphaned wells in the U.S. alone could be equivalent to the annual emissions of 2 to 5 million cars. This not only accelerates global warming but also impacts local air quality and public health. The scale of the problem requires ongoing attention and action to mitigate the environmental impact of these legacy wells.
