Orphan & Idle Well Closure
Workover Supervisor and Field General Contractor with True Energy Adviser Inc. I originate and manage idle and orphan well closure programs end-to-end — AER regulatory submissions, field coordination, and all subcontractor management. One contract. One accountable point of contact. No internal resource burden on your team.
ERA MRDP funding — TEA is a registered Eligible Contractor (EC0078). This program covers up to 50% of eligible closure costs to a maximum of $1M per project. Your non-compliant wells may qualify right now.
Before any well gets plugged, I assess it — reactivation potential, H2 storage conversion, lithium brine opportunity. Some of those 131 may carry more value than their closure cost.
The operators who move first on 2026 mandatory closure spend access the most funding and face the least enforcement pressure.
