Well Done Foundation
Company Description
Formed in 2019, the Well Done Foundation’s mission is to fight climate change by plugging the estimated 3.5 million orphaned oil and gas wells in the United States. WDF works with farmers and landowners, local and state government, corporations, and other nonprofits to locate orphaned wells, measure and document methane and CO2 emissions, plug the wells, and restore the surface areas to their original state. Since 2019, WDF has plugged high-priority orphan wells in six states, cumulatively preventing more than 1.5 million metric tons of methane emissions.
