Summary · why it matters
The Well Done Foundation and Zefiro Methane Corp. have announced a formal teaming agreement to accelerate the plugging of orphan oil and gas wells across the United States, starting with the Deep Fork project in Oklahoma. Under the agreement, Zefiro subsidiary Plants & Goodwin will perform plugging operations, combining WDF's civil engineering and regulatory expertise with P&G's turnkey drilling and plug-and-abandonment execution. The partnership also aims to collaborate on carbon credit origination using Zefiro's verified emissions offsets methodology. P&G holds a three-year, $19.6 million contract with the Ohio Department of Natural Resources and has captured approximately 37 percent of all federal IIJA Phase 1 Formula Grant funding awarded in Ohio for orphan well plugging. In 2025, P&G plugged more than 75 state-funded orphan wells across Ohio and Pennsylvania and completed $850,000 in methane monitoring work for West Virginia.
